I have been thinking about what my "must haves" are for a new boat so when I go to the boat show this winter I will know what I am looking for. The one thing I can not decide on is the engine power. The main use of the boat will be wakesurfing with something around 2000#'s of ballast. PCM engine size goes from the 350 to the 364 and Mercruiser from the 350 to the 377.
If the boat has the correct prop for the extra ballast do you need the upsized engine?
The larger engine will have more torque so will the rpm's be lower when surfing and use less fuel then the small engine?
Can you get a prop with less pitch with the larger engine because of the added torque?
Anyway, let me know if you have experienced the two different engines and what you would do.
Thanks in advance.
