Any ideas what it could be? Not much experience on marine engines. My first boat had a flawless 350ci so never encountered any problems. I appreciate all your input and have been referred to Dry Dock by a few friends. Plus they have saved me on a couple holiday weekends with a starter and alternator.

It's a Holley Carb on a 1978 460ci. Shooting out black smoke after it's on the water for about 15 minutes. Boats not short on power it still moves pretty quick! We've replaced the floats so far. Boat sat for a few years before I bought it.

Wondering if anyone knows of a good priced and reliable shop out here. Boats running great but getting too much fuel. I don't know much about carburetors but it's Smoking like crazy out the exhaust. Runs great on land but then after 20 minutes on the water it starts smoking.

Damn phone, I meant wood not would. Anyone have any pointers on replacing the flooring? I've seen it done but have never done it myself.

It turns out it is a 78 so a year older. I bought it for 2k. Hull, paint, interior were all in excellent condition. Well floor is gonna have to be replaced cause the would is shot. Believe the fuel pump is out but engine fired right up when fuel poured into Carburetor. Haven't got a chance to work on it yet because of work.

Going to check out a 79 hallett jet boat tomorrow. Never had any experience with a jet and would love to know any tips on things to check out before buying. It's got a 460. Been stored for a while, last registered in 09! Haven't seen in person yet because it's a couple hour drive but my friend has been checking out for me. Believe through pics it's a super sport.
