I converted my 77 glastron into a jetboat. I'm running a berkley jc12 pump and a ford 460. What type and or size carberator should I be running to make my boat most efficient , performance wise?
 
Holley 0-9015-1, probably, or one of its more performance oriented variants. You could drop to a 650cfm for more fuel efficiency and throttle response and possibly sacrifice little peak power if you wanted.
 
Though I am thinking with a 460 in there, probably fuel efficiency is out the window already...

Probably, lol. Its all relative, I guess.
 
How about a FAST EFI or Holley EFI system. Go faster and better MPGs! Plus it’s a boat, just bust out another thousand! ?
