I'm NOT an expert on the subject but I would be VERY hesitant to mess with the porting in the head.... there are bad things that CAN come from that such as fuel not staying atomized at low rpm (IE loading up at idle or low speed) or losing low end torque (which is vital for a boat) to gain top end and you are building a lugger not a 1/4 mile screamer..
just my .02

I don't want to loose low end power this guy is a well know engine builder here its only around the guide boss that needs a clean up as edelbrock don't touch the casting around the guide boss as it takes time and will have a affect on the retail price . I should off said clean up as people know porting as making the ports larger todays its changing the shape of the port that's important not size--that's why these new style v8 go well the heads make the power

Actually you DID say "clean up" and I knew what you meant.
I've seen it go both ways ..... Both with a "well known" fellow doing the work. As long as he really does have a good understanding of what works well for a marine engine you are likely ok but sooo many people want to build a boat engine the same way they would a dragster. Just saying be careful mate.

personally I'd most likely leave it alone.. edelbrock makes good stuff right out of the box... MIGHT be worth a call to edelbrock tech line to discuss their thoughts on your planned mods tho
