Here is a video of it running, open exhaust and revved it a few times:

Turn up the volume! I hope you have a sub woofer! It's a lot more lopey in real life, but I thought the video turned out pretty good for being just a PDA phone recording!

Took the exhaust manifold off today and found that one of the ports looks like it had corroded a bit and then was kinda repaired with a copper ring pressed in. Check out them oval exhaust ports..
It's not that bad, but that copper ring makes the port flow about as well as a very poorly matched gasket, as you can see in the picture. Is it feasible to have a shop weld on some aluminum above the port where it corroded, and to take out the ring and fix it up like stock?
Also all the marine heads have Helicoils in the bolt holes from the factory, great.
