Next full rebuilds, new interior, I assume drives and Transmissions checked,,,,,,,was this priced as a deal?

Deep pockets.
Yup, the fresh engines.. whomever said buy a boat without power, that`s probably good advice.
Eddie Young engine by spring.
New interior locally
I have receipts for drives and transmissions, previous owner changed gear ratio not too long ago.

I try and find the best deals on everything . Waves and wheels along with another place in loto wanted $20k for interior.. It`s getting done for $6k for example.

Will that pump move the fuel as fast as the fuel pump is putting it in?

Just curious how these Eddie Young motors compare to the motors in your old cig?

No.
Average gas station pump is 8-10 gallons/minute
The pump moves 3gl/minute at 50psi pressure . There`s no data on flow at 0 psi.
My testing it was about 5-6 gallons/minute so about half as fast.

Parts wise or ?

Eddie has a recipe he`s been doing for a long time , one that works but the tune and the way he tunes the engines on the dyno is key imop.
He puts em under much a lot more stress than anyone could in a boat . then tunes every few hundred rpm under a ton of load. If they don`t knock on the dyno they never will in the boat .
Not crazy about mefi-4 but the dual knock sensor protection is way better than even what Holley can currently do which is a plus .

Parts wise :
Merlin IV block
Billet caps
Lunati crank
Howard billet rods
Belt drive
Shaft rockers
55mm cam
.904 lifters
Brodix BB3 X CNC 380 heads
Custom sheet metal oil pan
4liter Whipple
Moac intercooler
Distribuless ignition
LS coils
Crank trigger

This build is 50/50 new/used parts .

I picked up a rebuild someone bailed on midway.
These are not brand new builds, I wouldn`t be able to swing that lol
The blower and all the pulleys are blue .
Eddie gave me a price that was hard to refuse .
Love that guy .
