My first post.
I really have enjoyed reading about everyone’s knowledge and experiences. On all matters and issues.
I’m buying a 1953 Century Resorter. I’m going to fully restore the boat and want to keep it as original as I can but being a muscle car guy I also want to do what I can to get more horse power and torque as well as the best prop possible. I also heard that I need to have the valve seats made out if stainless to allow for today’s unleaded fuels. It’s a 70 year old straight 6 but I hear it’s also pretty damn stout.
I’m open to any and all suggestions from port and polish to carbonation. It has dual carbs.
I’m an outboard guy so I understand horsepower and prop pitch for upper and lower end performance but this will be my first full inboard tackle. This boat will run 30 mph I’m sure but I’d be fully happy if I could get to 40 mph.
Thanks all
