Do I need to upsize jets for a single vaca to Colorado mountain lakes?

[kungpaoshizi]

The thought crossed my mind, I live in Iowa, maybe 700(?) ft above sea level...
Can I take the boat to lakes in Colorado without having to tear open the carbs to upsize the jets?

Sorry, completely new to boating, didn't even think about the consequences of elevation... lol
:facepalm:

Nobody has any thoughts on it?
(is it too stupid of a question and a moot point?) hehe

Don't waste your time, it is a fishing boat isn't it? with that much motor it shouldn't hurt you too much. Some might cut down the pitch on your prop you will loose up to 20% of your power.

It will run richer at altitude, so you would be going down in jet size.

Under 5000 ALT you should be fine.
