That's from there website.....
So this guy can make your John Deere haul azz, but has he ever seen a boat?? Nowhere on his site does it mention marine.
You might want to find a shop a little more performance marine oriented so you only have to build this motor twice instead of 3 times,

The cam's biggest concern on a wet exhaust boat is the exhaust. The type of exhaust you have, Erson picked a decent cam.
However, the 10:1 compression and rectangular 320cc Profraud heads don't make sense for the rest of the build.
One thing effects another.
The exhaust in this application limits the cam.
Since the cam can't be really any more than they picked, the compression and heads are not close even to ideal.
That's all. My IMHO.

I questioned the compression ratio because I figure with that cam cyl pressure would be too high but he says he calculated that into the grind and it was ok. If I stuck with lesser comp and reduced cyl pressure hp and more importantly torque would be significantly less. All I ever run is premium fuel anyway.
As far as the heads they are good as long as machinist checks them and assembly's them their selves. Oaks machine agrees never to buy pre assembled PC heads as a bolt on and go part.
