I would definately go with the big block. Most people see Big Block = Horsepower. (Especially on pump gas) Don't get me wrong, small blocks are great, but a thumping BBC is a proven, simple, reliable, trouble-free operator. Hi-Tech small blocks scare many people.
I know this is not an apples to apples comparison - it is almost impossible to sell a good sized offshore powerboat with twin small blocks. Regardless of power. A big block means power with reliability.
