I have an '86 3600 with twin Crusader 454's (700 hp total). I have plenty of hp and never felt under powered.
I'm up on Lake Erie, usual trip is 10 to 20 miles off shore, troll for 6 hours, run back to port. Erie is a shallow lake and gets snotty at times.
Or sometimes we make a 5 hour run down the lake to the Islands.
If I were in salt water making off shore runs, I'd probably want diesel's.
But if you plan on fishing and trolling, it can be difficult to troll a smaller boat with diesels at a slow enough speed with out trolling valves.
