Default 4.3 2bbl to 4.3 4bbl

Pulling, it's all in the prop! Reduce pitch and increase diameter and you
will pull their arms off.

More top end doesn't interest me.
I just bought the boat and won't be able to pull tubes behind it till
spring.
We are all about multiple tubes.....175hp may be enough for us but I
want to know what my options are if it isn't.

and it takes 15hp to gain 1mph! What are you trying to do & why?

I recently purchased a 1988 Sea Ray with a Mercruiser V-6 4.3 with a 2
barrel carb (175 hp)
Is it possible to convert this to a 4.3 with 4 barrel carb (205hp)
Is it just a matter of changing the carb and intake or are the
ingnitions different?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
