| 427's and fuel economy
I used my 35' with 427's for a towboat on Lake Erie for many years. When you are out there in the slop and you can set your coffee cup on the helm the fuel economy doesnt really matter. These boats are awsome if you are in any way exposed to possible rough water such as on a long trip or out fishing a lot. Best thing you can do for performance or fuel economy is do a compression test and make sure you are up to snuff. Then throw out the points and put conversion kits in the distributors. Remove the resistors and go to a regular coil, 8mm plug wires and Bosch Platinum plugs. My 35 with lots of gear was running 24 knots and purring.
