Thanks for all the responses I guess I am more confused I was told by the guy who rebuilt the motor was that headers were the way to go for more speed. But if I am only going to get 1 to 2 out of that forget it at the price I would have to spend. Any other suggestions? It does 70 mph right now and I am running a 850 speed demon carb on it just think with the horsepower it should go faster.

It's tough to get a lot of speed out of the 260. Search through the Powerquest threads and you will see what others have done with larger HP. The hull is not as fast as most other boats of the same size.
