    Low RPM's and looking for higher top speed

    you may not loose top end by dropping pitch or loosing a blade. the motor may be able to hit 4800 RPM which is better than lugging at 4400 RPM

    Ford 302 pinging

    should be $50-100 for a used intake manifold and the cost of a carb and a gasket set. heck if you want all new components and paid someone to do the work you wouldnt be over $1000 $2000 is about 4 to 5x of actual cost.

    Using neoprene foam instead of recovering the seats

    Considering new seats for Mastercraft are over $3000 just for the two front helm seats, not including the $7000 for the remainder of the boat upholstery, $3k is not bad for a complete redo I found a few small upholsterers that I used prior to working for TACO Seating. I did all the substrate...

    Ford 302 pinging

    I would run a 600 CFM 4150 myself. Volvo put 715 CFM holleys on 350's While some argue its overkill, cant complain about the mid-range throttle response.

    Low RPM's and looking for higher top speed

    the 3500' elevation isnt helping. that is about a 10% reduction in power make sure your throttle is fully open. I agree, you need to go down in pitch or number of blades to get the engine RPM's up to where you are not lugging the motor to bring your top speed up and your engine RPM's up, you...
