Years ago I had a 19' Bayliner Capri with a 3.0. If I remember correctly, that boat flew in the water. You can always add tabs to help plane, if that is hard with all the extra weight...You will have the best of both worlds.

i look at it this way mercruiser stopped producing the 3.7 motor . but still makes the iron 3.0 liter . a little less steam but a bullet proof motor. the1:98 gear ratio and a 17p prop may put you close enough. i myself like more steam since i have a aluminum top and full enclosure. good luck with your project . please let us know how you make out!

Good luck with it. As "step up here" said, please let us know how the 3.0 works out for you.
