Title: Boat just seems to be dogging.
Post by: 2xcrash on July 22, 2017, 09:17:48 PM

I've got a 20' 1977 Tarva with a 460 ford, Berkeley jet, holly 750 carb.
Was out today with the family and  at 3500 rpm towing 2 little girls on a airhead raft and was at best going 25.
Motor seems good.  It's not over heating or smoking. 
Pump was clear when I got my hand in the intake.
What should I be looking at   
I know it's not gonna be the fastest boat on the water but she just seems dogging.

Check to see if the throttle goes all the way open on the carb ? Check ur floats on the carb to see if they are stuck .
