If you can find industrial imron it covers and sticks well. It has about 2x the solids as the auto/marine imron. Plus it's brushable. It's a 2-part poly. With that prop size are you running a 1.5 to 1 borg-warner? If you are running a bw be conservative on the cam. You need to get a smooth idle at about 750 rpm. I tried to use an rv cam on a pair of 454 Crusaders on a customers boat and we couldn't get it to idle smoothly and it sounded like @$#% when you put it in gear. It may not be too bad in a lighter boat. You may just want to take out a little pitch to get the rpm up to about 4200 at wot. Just a thought.
