I'm looking for some new carbs to run this year on my boat. The boat is a 26' sutphen with twin 350s and TRS.
I was looking at some 600 CFM Edelbrocks. I'm looking for a good combo of reliability and some mild preformance with minimal tuning required out of the box.
What do you guys think of this carb?

Having had both in the past I can't imagine anyone prefering to deal with a Holly if you have any inclination to tune the carb yourself. The Eldebrocks are so easy and versatile. On the boat and in the water, with nothing more than a screwdriver you can change all four jets, metering rods and step-up springs in minutes. Try that with a Holly and you're paddling home.
As for any performance differences out of the box? Maybe, but I'd be skeptical.
