i have this boat that I just picked up. it has a 4.3 mercruiser, the bottom line is the boat needs a new motor. I am concerned that the v6 motor is not enough power for this boat. the last thing I want to do is repower the boat only to be unhappy with the results. anyone have one of these boats w/this powerplant? some guidance is much appreciated.the boat has a towing weight of 4000lbs.\
looking for top speed info & overall handling info
thanks
