Had a run in the boat got some logging done with wideband ,mufflers were a success (no performance loss) and nice note.
Had an issue in second log (k2)at the 2.03 mark .engine bogged down a bit so I backed off straight away think we might have a slight misfire .
Will post both logs. K1 was 13:1 wot and k2 was 12.5 wot

spark plugs out revealed an oily plug ,leak down test revealed too much leakage around piston so looks like a tear down

Apparently jag v12 engines are really prone to detonation due to the poor squish area. Aftermarket pistons have show to fix that issue. Might be something worth looking at?

So what has the detonation actually done. Damaged the rings or something?
