Go with the steel flywheel. The engine needs the enertia of the heavier flywheel to help keep the engine running when you put it in gear. When you go in gear, you put a ton of load on the engine in a split second. It needs all the help it can get to stay running. That heavier flywheel is harder to stop from turning than a lighter aluminum flywheel. I actually use a really heavy billet steel flywheel when I know the engine is going in a larger, heavier boat. Off the top of my head, I think it's just over 50 lbs.
