I have a 24 Albemarle Jackshaft CC. a year ago August I replaced my worn out 5.0 GI with the 5.7 Carbed motor. I am considering changing the motor to MPI. I am at 270 horsepower with the carb. I am turning Duoprop D4's. I burn about 16 gallons per hour at 3600 rpm's. I am cruising at 21 knots. That translates to about 1.5 mpg
If I modify my motor to MPI, I am told my horsepower would increase to 320. Does anyone have any data on this motor in a jackshaft center console? I don't want to use numbers from an express because they sit higher on a plane than I do. The express has it's motor at the transom. Mine is amidships so I think that I am pushing more water. Any ideas would be a great help.
