boats are about what the owner likes and wants, if you sell it then the next person can make their own call. Until then make yourself happy

Thats what I thought. It seems that some of my ideas catch alot of flack from several people on here for the newer style of upgrades.
Thanks Clark Slaten |

Clark,
Yes you can do any upgrades you want. It is your boat as stated but converting to fuel injection can be tricky. Some have tried, failed and went back to a carb. |

...and while EFI will make your boat start nicer (especially cold) it will do little, if anything, for your throttle response. Replacing a simple, cheap system (carb) with an expensive, complex one (EFI) will gain you no performance benefit, either. You might just want to learn to tune what you have before throwing money at a problem!

By doing a search but since it seems you haven't been using the feature for any other issues, here's some help: injection thread |

Yes Clark some are the type where original is the only correct way and there is nothing wrong with that, probably the best route for anyone who is looking to sell thier boat someday. Some of us, get a little more out there. Somethings are pretty universal like the fact that correctcrafts with very few exceptions should turn right hand props. I have screwed that up unknowingly myself. Fuel injection vs carb.. well for performance only it is a tough sell.. but there is a throttle body injected chrysler around that scoots along pretty good. Of course there are a bunch carbed boats that dont do too bad either. If it is something you have to have dont be discouraged, but if your simply looking or a really quick responding good running boat, then yep thats probably cheaper and more easily achieved with a carb. I am going to launch into a rebuild and upgrade of a fuel injected boat this year, I could just drop a known setup in using parts I already own and I probably would if this was my only boat but since it's a hobby for me I will see what it takes to upgrade the EFI system. At the end of the day its your boat and you can do whatever you want with it, the beauty of this site is if what you say your are going to do wont get you to what you say you want or if there is an easier way noone will be afraid to let you know.
