I put Platinum plugs in a Ford 460 jet boat once, didnt notice any increase in performance or anything else, when I changed them I went back to standard plugs.

I wouldn't bother with platinums unless the engine came with them as O.E.
They're mostly for backing up car manufacturers "100,000 mile" tune-up claims.

Thanks different responses than I expected.
I put them in my other boat and well I didn`t notice any increase in performance it did start much easier and quicker.
I do know they last longer which is why car makers use them.
