Hi everyone, I am new to Iboats and this forum and am hoping someone can help. I recently purchased a 1991 Dynasty Elan 208 from a family member. Boat has been in family for years and is in great shape, however, there has always been a discussion on the exact HP rating of the boat. To me, this is important as I am changing props this spring and want to choose the right prop based on my HP rating and RPMs I am pushing. I have the original service manual 1991 King Cobra outdrive but it doesnt help me either. Boat has the original OMC 350 King Cobra outdrive with a Chevrolet Small Block 350. From what I can find on the net, it either has 260 HP or 300HP. Considering it has the High Performance "Bowtie" Chevrolet High Rise intake on it, I am leaning towards the 300HP. I have Serial numbers for the intake and engine itself below but I have yet to reach a conclusion.
The intake is the GM 14096242 Bowtie Highrise intake with a date stamp of 08-26-87. From what I can find, this was somewhat of a rare intake that was Cast Iron, high rise for 4 barrell and built specifically for performance.
The Serial numbers on the Engine itself (front left above flywheel) have me somewhat stumped.....

GM 5.7 LG is stamped on the backside of the block.
I really cant find any specific info on the block itself which would give me an actual HP rating. Thought someone in this blog might have some experience or knowledge more than myself. Thanks in advance!!
