Im not sure what chargers your running?? My M-3 will sit around the 2 PSI mark at about 3100 RPM, to me the boost should be coming in sooner then 4000 RPM (granted I dont know what pulleys/blowers your actually running) Whats the back of the boat look like? Soot?? What do your plugs look like?? Have you watch timing on a timing light to see how it reacts?

It has to be an ignition problem or a fuel problem, if the motor is sound inside.
Didn't read all posts, but did you do a compression test hot..
I had a problem with detonation and it broke the ring lands on the piston before. It wouldnt show up on a cold comp test.

Hmmm definitely very confusing for sure... the only time Ive seen a similar issue with my boat was when I was trying different props this year, Just simply wasnt putting out the boost or pulling the proper RPM... swap back the props everything was good. You havnt changed your props though at all correct?

Yes checked that too, fully open @ WOT. The thing that's just so strange is they both tan perfect on the dyno and now they're both not performing. Both run great up to 3500 rpm, you'd never know there's an issue until you push the throttles. I'm putting on two smaller props today to see what it does but I'm guessing it'll run right up to 5000 rpm but won't have any boost. I'm going to run it with the Prochargers connected and then disconnect the belts to see if there's any change.
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions - I've gotta get this figured out!
