I have been puzzled by the recommended power difference for two similar boat designs. My 27' Eastern is powered with twin 150's for a total HP of 300. A recent ad for a Cutwater 28 states power is Twin 250 HP, or 500 HP total. Both boats are roughly the same LOA, and the same dry weight, 8,000 lb. What could be the reason for that much difference in power for two very similar designs?
