    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    BTW, with minimal work, you can get 160hp out of a 3.0..... then again, with a fair amount of work you can get 200hp out of the 3.7.

    Building A Hardtop

    first, I would simply visit a canvas shop and have your convertible top re-done. It will not only be cheaper and faster........ adding a bunch of weight up-high on your old tri-hull not only takes away from its capactiy, however changes the center of gravity alot.

    Dp 290 aq271 allingment

    easiest drive in the world to align. following the manual. there are 3 places to measure between the PDS housing and the transom sheild. at 3-oclock, 9-oclock and 12-oclock positions, measure with feeler gauges. as long as the dimensions are within a 0.060" range (1.5mm) you are good

    1995 Volvo Penta 5.8 FSI

    you wont loose any power and you wont burn more fuel. EFI does not do magic. you actually get a higher HP peak with a carb, however for the most part, the combustion mix (compression, cam, heads, valves, etc) determines the power and economy. your fuel consumption will remain at 0.4#/HP/hr...

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    since it appears that your existing boat does not have a motor, you would be better off with a V6 or V8 vs the 470

    1988 Rogue 2420

    Why I hate EFI and hyper-complex fuel systems the carbon canister decided to rupture and plug the fuel well up. with a full tank, I resorted to using a primer bulb to siphon/pump a whole tank of fuel those are carbon pellets
