Think of the Chevy 327 vs the 350. Shorter stroke, less displacement, higher RPM, the 327 made more WOT HP. Scary thought; I think I heard about...
If you are going to keep the boat awhile and put lots of hours on the engines, yes new power may be a great plan to ensure less troubled time down...
Like the DDC 92s, the 53s have wet liners also. IMO; Lean to the 71s if you can. Forgot about Tolly's. I thought they were a good boat. On...
