Bigger carbs for my 65hp Keikhaufer

[Ricky S.]

By the way I am new to the forum.

I have an old 1967 - 68 Merc keikhaufer 65 hp.
Can I up the HP by putting bigger carbs, say 90 hp carbs on my Merc and then use a bigger prop to get more speed?
My Starcraft currently does 31 mph.I figure bigger carbs would just get me up to speed quicker so a bigger prop would give me more mph.
What do you all think. Thanks.

The carbs from the 65 and the 90 are the same.... So you will see no difference.
