But my valve seats still looked brand new and we had a ton of fun with the boat this year!! What is that saying? A picture is worth a thousand words..... Man the bottom gets dirty sitting in the water for 7 days straight boating every day....

So basically what you are telling everyone is you don't know how to run a boat.

I have had clogged strainers, they make this amazing thing called WATER PRESSURE GAUGES.... and WATER TEMP GAUGES.... you should buy some... I live by them.

As far as enjoying the boat? I boated every weekend from second weekend of May in til the last weekend of September, only reason I ended was a trans let go, I could have tossed a spare in and went but decided to look at your buddy's cams and found wear, besides that engines ran fine.

Looking at my videos and pics, seems I use mine gooder then you use yours... I don't just cruise at 4000 all day I actually use WOT ...summer 2016... sure was good to me!!

Agenda, funny the proof is in pics... the only agenda is you defending BHB, ask Orlandi how much BHB backed him up....

How long would you let it hang at 6000? Only asking. What overlap you have?

I have to find the cam card, ive held it with the 1050 pulley at 6300 for 10 to 15 minutes at a time quite a few times but cruise at 3800 to 4500 most of the time, was in a 27 foot boat so never held it for hours on end, td shaft rockers, .080 exhaust seat margin to help pull heat out of valves, Smitty
