that,s a nice build,for marine use i think the compression might be a little high and the cam won,t work unless a completly dry exhaust is used.imo,a marine friendly cam and a drop to a max of 10-1 compression ratio will lower the power output some but would still be a strong build.

I think you have to define wet a little better. What kind of exhaust, how far back does the water enter, how much downward pitch do the tails have before the water goes in, and what diameter. I think it comes down to a case by case situation.

Lets just say, your typical bravo setup, using a standard exit stainless marine, Gil, or similar riser, that dumps water prior to the transom.
I guess what Im asking, or saying, is unless you have done the specific combination, isnt it all a guess on whether or not it will revert water?
