( 2 ) don't wont the extra weight

Reasons why i stuck with the 3.7

( 1 ) the light weight of the engine and even more with the alloy head

( 2 ) engine parts being cheap because same as a 460

( 3 ) fuel efficient

( 4 ) Most of all being a unique engine having a smaller engine making
good power is more rewarding than dropping a V8 in it when i do go
out for a fish and my boat is more fuel efficient than my mates boats
its a fishing boat and will be well balanced with the 3.7

I forgot another reason im keeping the 3.7 a few members told me that they make good power for what they are and I only took the boat for one short run and had the push rod problem so I couldn't tell how good it was
