Boat Handling / Performance data clarification needed, and regular or electronic ignition?

« on: April 10, 2011, 09:49:12 PM »

Does anyone have a copy of those pages from Motor Boating and Sailing, December 1976 posted in this site that can be easily read.  I am interested in those charts about the performance of the Pearson 323 with an Atomic 4.  I am interested in data as to best cruising range at what speed or RPM.    Also, any recommendation as to keeping the points andcondensor versus electronic ignition?

Thank you,

Do not be tempted to use Poli Glo, it does look great but after five years on its is HELL to get off.

I have a good old boat like your and use a buffer a medium speed, clean the whole sheer and then go back with a coat of wax. I use Magyars, they have a kit of cleaner, buffer and wax for sale a your local chandler's I am sure.  Make sure you use carnauba wax NOT silicone based.

Good luck, and esy on those elbows....

Delighted to see this a site for the 323 again.
