Let me give some background
I bought the boat for $2500 with fresh rebuild that never hit the water.
I got it from a friend (Tom) that bought it from his friend (Bob). Bob was given the boat to settle a debt from yet another guy. The motor was blown up. He rebuilt it, I have recepts but there is no real detail. I will list below what I have. Bob sold the boat to Tom for $2500. Tom took the tandum axel trailer and the drverter. Tom sold me the boat for $2500. He got a free trailer and a free diverter.
Now, when I look at the motor, I see lots of good things IMO. I see braded lines, 750DP, highrise manifold, SCJ heads. Why would anybody put all this on a motor with out making a lot of HP. I think it did use to make a lot. Now, I think it has a stock cam and timing gears. Just a guess. I am guessing it has good flow in the intake, and the exhaust. The SCJ heads are made to flow at high RPM its seems. ( that what I am getting from you guys). So, the weak like is the cam. Right????? Here is a pic of the valve train. There is one rocker that is diffrent. See it?

Ahh, a Southwind "Original Jet." Engine-length stringers, flat deck, seat pans glassed into the floor....It's a general purpose lake boat with a nice hull bottom.
I have the T-Deck, with full-length stringers, parquette floor, blah-blah-blah.

Is the bottom of the hull the same?
Looks like a chev rocker.
Nope, that there is a stock rocker for a cobra jet head
