Default Re: repower 23 cc inboard

A 350 is the minimum size I would put in a 23 inboard. A 302 just won't be enough, I'm thinking a 15 knot cruise and not much over 20knots WOT.
It depends on the power the Ford small block is putting out. A 302ci putting out 300hp is better than a 200 hp 350ci. The 302 Ford is a strong motor, properly set up.
