The Iaky 88 cam doesn't have those kind of numbers if my memory is correct. If the boat is for racing then a long duration cam is the right one. However if you want a runabout then a cam with 235 at 050" lift would be better. Yhe size of the prop will determine the RPN of the engine. I ran an L100 in a 258 ci engine and it preformed very well.
