I have a newly rebuilt (completely stock) 1978 Mercruiser 260 and a fresh 1978 Type 1 Mercruiser outdrive.
I have about 1500.oo I would like to spend to squeeze some xtra top end out of her. The boat is a 1978 Sea Ray 25 foot. I know, it's not much of a "hot boat", but it's what I got.
The current top speed is about 32.
I have been told to focus on:
Intake
Ignition
Carb
Exhaust
Heads
Cam
but I don't think I could afford all of this!
Any of your recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Russ
