What's your opinion?
On a 24 foot vee hull - say an Essex Valor - is a 525 too much motor for that boat? Is it useless to put a 525 in a 24 foot boat? Not knowing much about hull design etc...would the 525 create any "drivability" issues? Would a 496HO be better?
So now step to a little bigger boat, say 26/27 footer. Same configuration vee hull; for example a Lavey Nu Era 26. Is a 496 HO too small, would a 525 be the right size? Would a 600 or Ilmor 625 be the best choice?
