OK gang...I need as many opinions as I can get with this topic. I am trying to choose between the 377 and the 383 and need some additional opinions. Zig, I know you're running a 377 in your 23 footer...what kind of hull is it? All opinions are welcomed and needed. Thanks in advance. I am going to purchase it next winter and doing extensive homework in the meantime.

Is the 383 Carbed or FI? I saw the other thread but didn't read all of Spectra's comments.
377 of mine is the Ultralow-emmission EFI, port injected. I'm doing my part to keep our air/water clean..... |
Until of course you go for a swim?

Its always better to have more power than you need rather than not having enough.......IMHO.

So true...I've pretty much made up my mind on the 383.

They are, but I prefer to stay with the small block. The 383 pound for pound should push the I/O as fast or faster than the 454 (so I've been told)

LOL...I think I'll stay pretty stock for a little turnkey reliability for a few seasons before I start tinkering.

I agree if you have a light load, but 5 people, ice chests, and a days worth of gear, it may be more than 5 MPH.
just my .02 Â |
Yep, you need that extra torque to move those extra beer bellys.  So if you think it out, a boat load of hotties and drink everyone elses beer and you can get away with the 383

Sorry brother...that's a memory from the past. My idea is to kick the wives off the boat, drink all the beer myself and live vicariously through you young single guys.
