newbie here and have a quick question? Motor is fully stock but has the hei ignition and Panther exhaust. I was wondering what the best carb and intake would be for this motor? The carb needs to be rebuilt so I figured because it has been sitting for so long just replace carb. I believe it currently has a holly 750. Any help would be great

  We will need a little more info like what kind of boat will this be in.  Do you know what size impeller you have or how many RPMS the boat runs.  I would guess you would be fine with the Holley 750 and performer manifold or something close to it.  Not sure what you would be expecting for added HP this may give little to none.

It's a 79 Tahiti day cruiser. I rebuilt carb and it seems to purr nicely. Hasn't had it in the water yet. It has a berk 12jc jet. The car. Is a 750 vac secondary. I'm not concerned with looks as it will be covered. I'm guessing 6k would be mad rpm but it's just a guess

. It most likely will max out below 4500 RPM. Depending on the  condition of the carb I would just have it rebuilt. You could think of it like a garden hose with 4 kinks in it. You could fix one of the kinks without a noticeable difference fix one more still very little change. Now you're a thousand deep and getting pissed or your in denial. Lot's of guys have expected a big change with fixing one kink. Now add a manifold, cam. Carb and a exhaust mod of some sort. Now the hose is flowing your 2800.00 deep and you like it but then the sickness kicks in. I need a lighter hull I will just call Andy and give Mr Bostick a ring as well. Now your 50,000.00 deep but real happy. Carb rebuild ?  Most of us all have the sickness to some degree.

Oh sweet its got a berk.
Yeah it most likely wont spin up to 6,000. 

If the carb isnt a rusty paperweight I say rebuild it. 

I had a 78 Tahiti mini with 454 and a 750 DP worked like a charm, was a comfy boat for the fam

X2 go get a edelbrock performer intake and look into a carb with mechanical secondaries in the future.

Jet boating is worse than a horrible drug addiction. END OF STORY!!!!!
