Thanks for the info. The goal is for this boat to cruise between 25-30 and be as fuel effient as possible while sticking with a carb. I figured that the low rpm torque of a 383 would be a good fit. Conversely, I bet a ZZ crate long block from GM would get us to the same goal.

Last I heard, the boat and her owner had been sitting behind a rolled over semi for 2 hours and the highway patrol were predicting another 4! Fun way to spend the night.
