Up for sale is a 1977 Carribean Jet boat made by Hardin marine.  I bought the boat from a guy on this forum ad a project and it still needs some finishing touches but the boat it still usable.  The boat has a rebuild 455 oldsmobile mated to a jacuzzi pump.  Here is a list of the parts and things I have done to the boat:

Which carburetor?

Your fuel test is worthless (sorry).

What fuel pump?

When you say sputters,  how? Carburetor,  exhaust?

Just misses?

What exhaust?

How are you cooling it?

Compression test?

Timing test is worthless too... What is the timing at over 2,500rpm?

Vacuum advance?

Why points?

How much voltage on the coil with the engine running?  What coil? ....


Sorry. Had to.

GT

Thanks for all the advice everyone.  And sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with work.  Anyways I ordered a mallory unilite electronic distributor and put that on and a new alternator since the old one was bad, and I still had the sputtering issue. So I threw on an old holley 600 cfm I had laying in the garage (looks like it was pulled out of the ocean it was so dirty) and it ran great on the hose.  So I took it out and ran the boat in the water for awhile and it did good but still sputtered a bit once the engine had warmed up.  And by sputter I mean when I get on the gas it hesitates and doesnt pick up speed.  And to answer a few of your questions GT; the exhaust I have is Hardin logs and snails, 150 compression in all cylinders, and the coil is a mallory electronic ignition coil.  That's all the answers I have as of now.  Thanks for all the advice and anymore advice will be appreciated.  And another thing, I don't know if I should get the holley 600 rebuilt or if the issue could be something else? Thanks in advance

So I rebuilt my 455 olds and got it back in the boat, but around 4k rpm it sputters.  It has a brand new edelbrock 750, all new valves, valve guides, and springs, offy tunnel ram, newer holley fuel pump, new coil, mallory single point distributor, brand new autolite platinum spark plugs.  Any help would be appreciated
