    I have ported my 150 before. I had a friend help me with some information I acquired from him. It was just tedious. I liked it. There's another aspect of porting the motors that I haven't done. Has anyone cut the openings into the side of the cylinder and used the gt pistons(scalloped) in it...

    Just a general question here. I'm going over a 235 trying to get it tuned up on my bass boat. It wouldn't come out of the hole to save it's life and that was with a 25" raker. The gt 150 that came on this 1200lb Ranger(375v 1988) had a 22" raker. SO, there should be no problem with this 235...
