1978 Marinette has twin 440
1978 Marinette has twin 440's. Engines were probably 1976+. They have 2000 hours but were rebuilt at 1200 hours. I have not been able to get over 3300 RPM and no more than 24 MPH. When the boat was new it would get 4200 RPM and run at 31-33 MPH. Original props are on the boat (19x23's). Using RJ14YC withh 8mm wires. Fuel pumps are original and gas filters have been changed. Hsd the carbs reguilt 2 years ago. Primaries and secondaries all seem to be working fine. I have been fighting this issue for 4 years now and getting very frustrated.
