Finding the 29 outlaw weights 6800 with twin BBC, so if the boat doesn't catch air, 450+ should not be an issue on the drives

I would contact Top Quality Source for Boat MEFI ECU Tuning | CO, KS, OK, TX, NE, AR, MO | MEFI Tuning and see if they have an ECM tune already written for what you are building with one of the listed cams.

Are the 420's 454 cubes ? what heads are you running on these.

Mercury 454's similar to your mag motors, GM rectangle heads, flat cam, roller rockers, single plane 800carb and better exhaust.

i ran that same platform for years. Was a 4 mph plus gain over the 454/365 in a single 24. Then stepped up to dart oval port heads with the 502/465 cam and lightning headers. That was an awesome combo and made great power.
