I can see that the spark advance is moving and that the trigger on the stator is good. It does appear that the spark advance stops before the throttle bottoms out.
The PO told me that when he rebuilt the carbs he jetted it for altitude, which Mercury says is 4,000 or above. He used the .041 jet. >043 and .045 are available. (I have them already).
As far as weight, this is a 16' aluminum. Pretty light weight overall. I go 250 and my buddy is about 180, so load should not be a problem for a 45hp on that boat. Prop is a 9x14. PO said 30mph at the Berry.
