The 3208T is a great little motor , in a boat , truck or industrial. The Turbo models if I recall started coming with Sleeves. But the Old NA version wasn't . But we bored and sleeved them anyway with no problems. Can be turned up to around 475 I think. Pretty easily.

great looking boat, I would imagine it is going to ride very well. I think a pair of big blocks probably still weigh less a single 3208

Congrats on the new boat!
The 3208's are great engines. I have no clue why they don't have a better rap. My international 4700 Cat3208 Runs amazing. Zero issues. Starts in the cold with ease. Friend has a pair of the Highest power in his 50' Tiara and also loves them.
Keep the pics and updates coming. Enjoy!
