Im going to be rebuilding a en
Im going to be rebuilding a engine for my SRV200 SEARAY. It presently has a OMC Inline 6 165hp.
I got my hands on a chevy 230 Truck engine. I think the block is the same as a 250 cid 165hp marine engine. If I rebuild it as a 230 cid it will have 200 more rpm's but 15 hp less than a 250 cid.
My qestion is do we need more HP/Torque & less RPM's or More RPM'S & less HP/Torque to make a boat go faster? And if your in a storm/Wind would you then want all the HP/Torque you can get? Would like to understand it?
