Ding! Another winner. The torque curve on the 625 will probably not kill the the drive, either. (Plus, you take out another 200 pounds as compared to a big block.

one small block and that size of boat I dont know. I would think twin small blocks, or one single 502 or something. One small block is going to suck fuel too. I understand your thoughts and Im not going to get into the whole if you dont have money your in the wrong sport, like some other tards say. I mean anybody can get into any sport. Just because you have a go fast doesnt mean it has to go 80 and cost 500 bucks a weekend to run. Different strokes for different folks. But I do have to agree you are going to kill resale, unless you keep it for a long time and at that time a 30 year old boat, it dont matter what it has it isnt worth much

get a different boat.....
