I would recommend a Hydro QIV prop on your 22. That hull runs really good with a 4blade stern lifter like the QIV.

Let me fill you in since it appears that when it comes to Foxwell and or Straub. You are clueless. At Straub Tech. Foxwell had full use of all of Straubs tools in Straubs building making over $100K a year. However Foxwell wanted to dictate my build as to show up or out do another builder Rick Jones located in Colorado. Foxwell was booted from Straub Tech. For the very same reason he was booted from Dart Machinery, AJPE, Straub Tech and Performance Automotive and Machine, He shined me on for 2 years until I found out the truth. Something it appears that you haven't found out yet. I will now ask the Admin to remove this thread as it has been ruined and no longer needs to take up the space and wasted the bandwidth you and your two cohorts caused it to be.
I'm glad you had a nice chat with straub this morning. The odds that he paid anyone but himself $100K are less than zero. Based on your attitude in your posts, any engine builder would be smart if they declined to build you an engine. I see a nightmare for them.

You actually caused this thread mess. You got emotional.
Most of us here know Foxwell is a douche. Brutal one at that. I never said he was a good wrench. You made that up.
You’re on Straub medication. We get it. Sorry.
There’s a reason both where banned from here years ago.
Let’s move on.
What cam is in the motor now ? So we know exactly what you currently have for an engine and power and rpm range.

YOU trashed your own thread. YOU went on a rant about foxwell, when NO ONE said anything good about him. SB and I and a bunch of other people are well aware of his history. If YOU had done ANY research you could have found hundreds of references on the internet about what a nightmare he was/is. There is a reason he AND straub are banned from OSO. You said you let him dictate your build. Thats on you. Jones (voodoo pro) is a total hack. He sells crap on ebay and uses 20-50% dyno correction to claim HP. You were paying. you may not get to send crap parts to a builder but YOU tell them what its for or go elsewhere. Trust me, BES which is a top notch builder is gonna give you an engine that does what you need, BUT they aren't going to let you pick parts that they feel are inferior. No good engine builder is going to let you do that.

Another clueless individual that believes himself to be a mental giant...Take a hike Einstein. :-) My attitude isn't the issue here. That would be the figure you see when you look in the mirror. I'd like to bet you a Paycheck that Foxwell made $104K in 2019 paid by Straub. You can bet on that. The more you bump your gums. The less intelligent your make yourself appear. Which isn't a very steep mountain to climb. Now hit the road BOOB. OH and FTR. I've been working off and on the BES without a single problem. It's just people like yourself that bring out the worst in people. Especially me. I have zero patients for self absorbed *******s. Have a nice day.

Excuse me but this id from your prior post "Holy fuk that’s funny. We’ve had our issues. But….he can turn wrenches" Straub just sells bullchit…… Now then let me get this straight. I don't get emotional. I just tell it like I see it, and to date Chris Straub has profiled a cam for my 565 BBC 69 Chevelle that has been 9 teens.
You have a SERIOUS emotional issue. You did too huge posts about foxwell based on your lack of reading comprehension. As far as picking cams for your drag car, big whop. My cat can do that. BUT this is supposed to be a BOATING forum and you asked about a BOAT engine. Neither straub nor foxwell are qualified to be picking ANY parts for either one of them.
Sorry you don't like people like me and SB and others that give you the real facts about posers like straub. As I said, do a google search for him and you'll see the facts. From every boating board to the Vette forem to multiple others. The horror stories are endless.

I would like to apologize to everyone for how this thread took a nose dive and went to hell in a hand bag. That was and is never my intention. I came to this board to try and get back up to speed in the boating world. Now have a crap slinging contest with anyone. If I have something negative I would like to get across to someone. Most times I'll send a PM as turning a thread into what this one became helps no one. We are all unique individuals who have our our opinions about how we do thing and who we like or dislike. I personally would much rather keep things cordial and if anyone decides to be something other. I will add you to the ignore list. Again I apologize for the way this thread turned out and I'll ask the Admin again to please delete it.

0kay, that’s cool.
Now, the cam that is currently in the motor is ?
And as RyanOOTJ asked, any massaging on the Sportsman heads done ?
I have one more question - any thoughts about removing the Team G single plane intake and putting on a performer rpm airgap ?
Edit in. Make that two: questions exhaust. The one on your engine i don’t think i’ve seen. Is it helping or hurting you ?

The plan for the engine is to have the Sporstman II heads massaged by BES. Remove the Team G intake and replace it with a Edelbrock Performer RPM Airgap. A Holley 750 CFM dual line double pump carburetor. The comp cam that is currently in the boat is the one on the cam card in the posted photo. The cam going in the engine specs are as follows with a 1.6 rocker arm. 576/555 I/E, 271/297 adv dur. and 216/223 @.050. 106/118 centers and a 112 LSA. I'm not sure what the pistons are or what the current CR is. As stated the engine is supposed to have a Callies internally balanced crank and Eaglt H beam rods. All parts will be approved by Tony Bischoff before it goes in the engine but we are shooting for a 450-500 HP range and I'm expecting a realistic 475HP out of this combination.
