My Dad owned a 35 Chris Craft sports fisherman in the early 1960s with big Mopar v8s and as a toddler my fondest memories early in the season in NJ when it was still chilly was Dad spraying cans of starter fluid in those carbs to get it running. How Dad didnt blow up is beyond me.

sounds nice! beautiful Chris Craft, gold standard of boats. Grampa had a 1955 42 foot Chris Craft we grew up on in so. calif. Around 1967 he took out the stock twin 6 cylinders out and put in 2 big Lincoln V-8's. Sea Cloud would get out there and run for its time! you could have probably water skied behind her. Love your beautiful boat!

Why, if building this motor, would you put such a weak cam in a 440? Why not the standard 350hp profile cam, even if you were having it custom made because of reverse rotation. Not that much more expensive.

@@davidkeeton6716 This is where the hot rod guys kill motors. A marine engine has a riser which introduces water into the exhaust as it exits the manifold. A performance cam causes exhaust reversion. So you end up sucking back some water from your exhaust which is a motor killer after a while. You require a different exhaust manifold set up to run a bigger cam, and it's very expensive. I don't think you would even be able to find a company making them for these old motors. If so the cost would bend your brain a bit. Most are made for stern drive applications and none for Mopar. It's a GM world there. If you chose the right cam, and built it right, you would maybe get high 300's to 400hp max out of it. The thing with a boat is, you are moving a ton of weight, through a medium with a lot of drag. You need to make your torque and HP down low to get on plane. Shaft drive 440 inboards like these are set up to run about 4000 rpm at full throttle. A cam that makes power in the upper RPM range is not what you want. Detonation due to load is a real thing too, so no automotive timing full advance. Most old set ups are running a few degrees less.
