    Squeezing more from 5.0L 220hp

    You will need a long block (complete with Vortec Heads) The small chambers and small valves in the 305 heads do not work well on a 350 or larger motor. And if you put the big valve heads on a 305, you shroud the valves

    Wood rot HELP

    Boats were designed with a 15 year life span. Maintenance allowed the service life to be a bit longer. Your boat is 41 years old. That is almost 3x it's design life

    do a compression test. my Searay 190 (smaller boat, same motor/drive) would hit 5000 RPM with a 19P and be just shy of 50mph per the GPS (49.5ish). make sure your drive is the 1.62:1 However you are 4100# dry weight, that is a lot of boat, half a ton more than my Searay you may simply need...
