I am looking at a Cruisers Inc 32' express. It has twin 350 chevy
engines. One engine is new and the other has 1000 hours. The boat itself
is in very good shape for a 1989. I'm sure the old engine will need
replacing soon. If I buy it, I was thinking I would build two 388 c.i.
engines. This is a 350 block with the 400 crank. I get the torque of the
400 with the reliability of the 350. I would assume the boat should
plane a little easier. Any thoughts?

Saw your later about the other one blowing up, but recalled that a
dockmate changed his gearing up and switched to larger props.
Significant improvement in all around performance and economy with the
same engines. That may work better for you than anything else.
