Re: Reversion (again)
Unless you could have a fiberglass man do some creative rework above the step it would probably be messy and dangerous. Patriyachts idea seems like a simpler -lower cost option and might take care of the reversion. Your boat has an awesome setup and those rpms and torque numbers are fantastic for a carbuerated motors. I just wonder how long those bravos can take those kind of torque and rpm numbers?

Re: Reversion (again)
Bravo's were are very heavily modified with every trick possible.
I am not afraid to mod the fiberglass, I have already had to redo vast amounts of poor glasswork from the factory (I special ordered the boat new).
Patriyacht's suggestion was predicated on all that water being dumped into the tailpipes which it is not. They are dry to the end with 1/8th inch holes at the very end to moisten the flappers.

I think with all else, the cam change might not be enough.

Motors are of course all air pumps. I have always run big Fords with huge cams but this is the first time I have had exhaust run under the platform.
These are 605 inch motors, Essentially the same as a tall deck chev with Pontiac Big Chief heads, with that in mind, is there a cam profile that won't suck the water off the 7-11 shelves?

I chose the former, not the latter.
