Well the bad news first, 6 footers out there wind and waves in are face, after 2 miles turned around and came back in, NO Tuna

Good news, came in and went out in a different area, drove boat about 15 miles at about 5000 rpm doing any were from 25 to 29 knots Opened it up and topped out at 33 knots, Motor never missed a beat!! Could have trimmed it a bit more and got another mile an hour??

So after putting new plugs, new ck vaule in the fuel pump, and redirecting the supply hoses to the carbs, it works! Not sure what fixed it??

Redistricting the fuel hose was like this, it had one supply hose from the pump, across the motor to the other side and that one hose went to top carb, then from there each carb feed off the one above.
Now there is a 3 way on the pump and a hose going to each carb direct.

So was it the hoses?? Ck Vale? plugs? or a combination of?

But it works!! Thanks all and to BS for stopping by to help me out!
