A Minx would be sweet as well! Smaller fits my needs this year, bigger next, like the Poker Run concept fits my social nature! Once a Month I must spend a week and sometimes half in So Cal. and Vancouver, B.C. Since I can an do take a couple of days off I plan on driving those trips more, drag a Donzi with me! Shasta begs you to take a spin on that lake!

Just traded my 20' Cig - Stock BBC (454/365) and bravo
65mph @ 4750rpm /w 25-Mirage prop.. Great punch....every where.
Does roll a little if you hammer it from a dead stop....ya just steer into it
or tab out of it if it bothers you.

I decided to stick with the small block for now. I'll run her and see what kind of numbers she pulls.

I don't think a BBC is at all necessary in a small boat. unless you need ALOT of hp. I'm holding a dynosheet for a naturally aspirated SBC, 564 hp @ 6200 rp, 550 Tq @ 4750 rpm, and I can build bigger. SBCs to around 600 hp.
(I sell crate motors). They aren't much cheaper then BBCs at this level of build, but weight and space are issues, and MOST people don't have 600 hp bbcs anyway, (mine go to 820 hp dyno tuned and tested carb motors).
If you want more power out of what you have, just change the cam.

I have a 18" offshore race boat that does around 60mph with only a 70hp johnson, and when I fill the watertank up it doesn't really care how big the waves are 
hull is air lubricated via 2 vents on the deck, engine is on a setback, prop axel is flush with bottom
small video here, you need quicktime to view it
