i would think by the time you are finished buying a blower, carb etc. you would be more than a imco lower unit?
i have my drives level with the hull on a set of ext. boxes on my scarab panther

If I went with the bigger blower, then It wouldnt fit under my sun pad. otherwise I would definitely go that route, Im only looking for 3-4 psi.

Pressure is not what you want. Volume, and cool efficient volume at that. Gould set that 250 up to make 3lbs, and make more power than the 174 @6
