My dad has one of those Merc 40s on his marsh rig. What kind of $$$ would he be looking at spending to do the 60hp carbs set up right? And is an exhaust port job required to really benefit the carb upgrade? Lastly, I assume fuel mileage drops significantly with the larger carbs...

I know brand new carbs from Jerrys will cost $600, the fuel mileage Definately suffers big time though. I'm not really positive about the porting

Daryl sells carbs and a modified intake, those parts alone make a huge difference in power. The cylinders are so big for a 40 and the way the port map lays out the motor has no issues handling the extra air and fuel, only a timing adjustment is needed.
