Re: 5.7 litre Mercruiser engine - underpowered
Remember that playing with props is only a function of trade off. You will either gain on the bottom end or the top end - you can't gain on both.
Until you get the boat out on the water and pin the throttle, you won't have any idea of what you need/should do. A simple adjustment of weight, changing of tabs, etc can have a big impact on a smaller vessel.
If you do need to "power up', there are other options that will give you HP or Torque for far less than anything else you may consider.
