    Im looking at (2) very nice vintage cruisers
    One has a pair of turbo charged 6v92 with 1800 hours. (1995)
    The other has a pair of 6-71 engines with 900 hours. (1988).
    the boats are close to the same size (41’ and 43’).
    any words of wisdom on which to choose?

    What HP level are each? How were each maintained? What brand and style of boat? Cruise speed of each boat? Your question cannot be answered as it is.
