    If you're worried about hole shot, then I'd look at the torque curves for both engines. That's going to make a bigger difference than horsepower. I wouldn't worry about the top end, after a while it doesn't matter how much horsepower you throw in there, the hull is only going to go so fast.

    Personally, I found the cost/benefit not worth it. My 21v has the stock 315 hp Mercruiser that came with it that year. I couldn't justify the extra $8K for the 330 hp Scorpion. My boat has plenty of power.

    My guess is that it would make a bigger difference on a bass boat

      I have not test driven the 340. However, my dealer says that it is not worth the difference in cost. Boarding is the majority of what the boat is used for--an occassional skiier so I do believe it will be fine. Thanks for all the feedback.
