Over 1000 hrs on twin 270 engines...1984

Petronix is probably the cheapest and easiest way to go. The advantage is reliability and maintenance. The points need to be adjusted and or replaced fairly regularly. Back when I owned cars with points I always kept an extra set in the glove box, and they came in handy more than once.
I have a 68 GTO that I restored to stock about 10 years ago. One of the very few modifications I made to the car was replacing the points with a Petronix insert. It was quick, easy, cheap, and is still running strong.

Yup. My Chris-Craft had a 350 c.i. Indmar in it when I bought it. Under the right (well, "wrong") weather conditions, the distributor cap would get condensation inside it and totally screw up the spark from the points. I put in a conversion kit (I believe it was Petronix) and never looked back. Too inexpensive not to do it, IIRC it was under $100...

I'd move on. Too many negatives, especially in this boat market.
