Hi all,
I have a 20' Cigarette that I'm considering repowering. I have seen that there is a wide variety of power plants in many of the 22 classics on this site and could use the breadth of experience that this forum provides.
I was wondering, as the speed moves into the 80s and 90s, how important engine weight is from a ride perspective? More specifically, do the 200-250lb weight reduction offered by an Ilmor motor or steroid small block or 400lb reduction offered by an LS motor (vs BBC) really improve how the boat handles at speed? I run with an ITS/XR/Shorty combo so the boat already has extra weight right at the back. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Yoryi
