Hello Everyone,

I am new to the list and have some questions. Your comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have a 77 Checkmate with no motor, everything else was included. My first question is the Berkley pump tag states a 12JB pump, but I can't find any info that references the "B". I have attached a pic of the tag. It also is stamped A-SS which I believe would note a A cut impeller in stainless steel?

The boat had a 454 BB. I will be using the same power plant (chevy guy). I could also use some advice on cam spec's, any other pertinent info would be great. How many rpm's can I expect to turn, and the boats maximum speed?

Thank you in advance, more questions to come for sure, I don't want to wear everyone out right away.
