how is fishing in buffalo

[fishkiller16]

I gave her a good bath Saturday. She needs to be buffed out and waxed. I also have to replace the wood in the engine stringers. Going to build a new engine over the winter. Just trying to narrow down cam selection. My buddy that owns bills engine works. (Formerly oddys) is takin care of block prep. So it should idle n troll good as well as run good on top

I would keep it bone stock no high performance cams or big carbs. I have built several marine engines over the years and its not worth building a high performance motor as your hull is only designed to go so fast no matter how much hp you put thru it, not to mention you better have minimum a Bravo 2 outdrive to handle anything over 300 hp. In my experience go with a stock cam, Edelbrock low rise intake (due to clearance issues on dog house) Edelbrock 600 cfm marine carb jetted down for trolling purposes, and stock cast iron heads. No aluminum heads due to oxidizing issues in water jacket from electrical discharge. You need reliability over speed 35 mph is more than fast enough for a walleye fishing boat. It would suck to be out 10 plus miles and have a failure due to much hp. Just my opinion its a been there done that type of deal....lol
