I bought from the 2nd owner, and he knows the 1st owner and thinks that the 1st owner replaced the carb to "upgrade" or get more power, which having owned several inboard ski boats I know that won't aid in top speed. Frankly, I think the carb could even be factory stock, BUT, if it were yours, would you invest in changing to a marine EFI conversion, and if so is there a clear choice for that? Or just stick with a carb and rebuild and maintain? Thx much, Michael
There are several electronic conversions available. Pertronix is one, SKIDIM has 1 that they sell, If I was doing it all over I think I would go with a DUI (Davis Unified Ignition) distributer for simplicity. If you don't know anything about the carb I think your best bet is a new Holley marine carb, best investment I ever made to my boat.
