I purchased a 1989 Larso Laser 20' last summer in Daytona. Unfortunatly it was a lemon, and thats puting it nicely. Lets just say floor, stringers, and motor have to be replaced. Already paid to much for it so i am goin to make it exactly how i want it. So, that being said, I would like to ask yalls thoughts on what i should repower it with. Had a stock 350 chevy with alpha 1 gen 2. I am looking for something with around 300hp and to be able to get down the water around 60 easily. more than likely will need a bravo drive, but have heard the alphas being able to take 300hp. That all is accourding to gear ratio and prop pitch, which i have no idea how to match them together to get what i would like. I have been around boats all my life but havent gone this indepth with a boat. Any and all thoughts are welcome.
Thanks. Ed
