My thoughts stay away from efi that isn't smart enough to tune itself. With that said a good Carb is still very hard to beat.

If i had a 600hp or less carb'd setup, i'd install full dry with mufflers and a Holley Terminator EFI. Nothing wrong with properly setup carbs though.

I was just thinking that the MPI would be a lot less trouble on a boat. Just your basic stock Merc MPI on a stock motor or a stock carb on a stock motor. I am looking to buy a boat and have stayed away from boats with carbs. I am looking for something that is reliable, that idles good, and restarts are no problem after a hard run. Will a carb do all that no problem? I am sure the carbs are a lot better now than when I was messing with hot rods many years ago!
thanks RB
