I would look for a V6, preferably a 5.7 in a 19 footer
5.7 in a 19 footer is just over kill... While I like Power, that's unnecessary... That 4.3 is even great in a 23 foot boat...
My 18 1/2 footer came with a 5.7(it wasn't an engine option, but it was shipped from the factory with it) and I feel a bigger boat would need more power.
When it comes to engines
Enough is good, More is better, and Too Much, is just Right!!!
with the 4bbl on it is pulls hi 60s. It is a bit of a dog getting out of the hole

If an 18-1/2 foot boat with a 5.7 only feels 'adequate', may I suggest you have a serious issue with that boat... .
