I have a 1984 Corvette 350 with 4bbl and Edlebrock intake in my boat. Runs great and cool all day long.
What do you think is a safe max operating speed and a red line rpm? Thanks guys. KT |

Shouldn't the prop size and pitch be chosen such that WOT puts you at your peak HP? Assuming you keep the boat in the water (no James Bond type stuff) it would then be impossible to overrev the motor, and you should get the best top speed possible. (I could be wrong about this, it's just what makes sense to me... I'm no boat expert)
