Hi,
I am the proud new owner of a 1991 Chris Craft 228 Concept cuddy with a OMC Cobra 5.7 motor.
Can,t find HP ratings, guessing 260, would like to know what compression readings are on a new 1991 engine.
Boat has a near perfect survay record and engine is all original with a 650 cfm Holley 4bbl carb.
I am presently rebuilding the drive unit and machine work being done on worn out obsolite parts.
My next step is rebuilding the 27 year old engine.
Any opinions on how the original power was or modifications that are worth while.
I am willing to go the route of intake manifold, heads, camshaft, carb, even EFI if anyone done it before.
Ignition upgrades ect...
I don't want a speed boat, just like to upgrade everything I touch when it is worth while.
Would like to have a 300hp boat that starts up easy, pulls strong with good mid range acceleration.
Thanks for any info
