WHat would be the effect if the motors were making different horsepower and torque?

I am rebuilding only one motor in my boat. The rebuilt one will be a 468 with similar compression (7.5:1, turbo motors) to the other one. Both motors will have the same camshaft, intake, heads etc. The only difference will be the newer one will have 14 more CID than the other and the newer motor will have less leak down. The older motor has about 15% leak down. If both motors are running at the same RPM, how will this affect the way the boat handles?

hp difference is not going to be that different.
