Well, we shall see on the flow rate.  I was excited to find something that close.  Too add to task, the injetors don't fit.  When I talked to the tech at Indmar, he explained somewhere along the line the pilot on the injector was enlarged by GM.  He expected that my year would be one of them affected.  He advised reaming the hole using a shop vac to collect the cuttings.  The injector hole in the intake is stepped. The smallest hole is for the seal.  This size matched. There is a pilot above the seal. The OD of pilot of the replacement injectors is 5/8".  The hole in my manifold and the pilot on the old injectors were 1/32 under.   That step is in process now.  I will grab some photos.

I ran into the same issue with replacement fuel injectors. I bought FJ164 injectors and had the same problem with the enlarged pilot. Instead of boring the manifold, I used emery cloth on the pilot to get it to the right size.  It took a few hours, but it saved me from risking metal shavings in my intake.

The dealer locator says enter a postal code, not a state.    It works for me if I put in a ZIP code.   

The  dealer locator does not work for me either. if I put in state or zip code. I still get the no dealer or whatever.
But, I have been using VS Marine for many years, Including  servicing my 07 when it was something I could not do myself.
As much of a Malibu person as I am. If I had to buy or service from Larsons/Tommy’s., I would not have bought, and I would not be buying a Malibu.  
The people at VS Marine are great people!  

@waterskiercu - per your comment on lack of carb knowledge at the dealer, perhaps a more successful approach would be to have a carb specialist mechanic tune it, good source will be the local hot rod, 70’s pony car community.  Car show, local drive in A&W etc will be a hang out.  You’ll supply the water feed knowledge for the raw water pump.
