Hi Terry.
You really don't need to worry about Torque,all you need is The Recomended Max & Min Power Ratings of Engines in either Horsepower or Kilowatts for the Safe operation of your boat,all boats should have a Compliance Plate with all the above info.
The easiest ways to assertain The Shaft Length is to ask Dealers,check Makers Site for Specs,or simply take the boat to a Dealer & they will measure it up,if they don't already know what fits,then tell you what Engines are suitable,or you can measure it up yourself & shop around.
Good Luck.

Also depends on what you plan to use the boat for. If just fishing on small waters, you can troll and get around, albeit slowly, with a fairly small motor. Small motors troll better than throttling back a big one; with a big motor, you may have to buy a smaller trolling motor if you plan to troll. Bigger waters require a bigger motor, otherwise it takes forever to get from one part of the lake to another. If you just need speed and want to impress the opposite sex, go for a big 'un. [links]

Hi.
The easiest way is to check the manufacturers specs & recomendations for the max horspower engine for your boat.
Also all boats should have this on the compliance plate which is usually on the Transom.

The aft bench seat has three separate bottom and backrest cushions - which are also used in the bow to cut costs - and stowage below that's open to the cockpit. There's no glove box in the port console, no stereo, and the instruments are mounted directly to the flat face of the helm console. The boat is clearly built to a price point, but it never looks cheap. here

Get ready for a revival of the outboard-powered runabout. Glastron is looking to the future with the introduction this spring of its new SSV 170, a 17-foot bowrider designed to sell for $14,000 on a trailer with a 90-hp Evinrude E-TEC outboard on the transom. Like many builders Glastron http://glastron.com dropped its last outboard-powered runabout several seasons ago, for a number of reasons but primarily because the escalating cost of emissions-legal four-stroke and direct-injection two-stroke outboards made them an unattractive option on price-sensitive, entry-level boats. In this market, a price difference of even a few hundred dollars can be a deal-breaker, and outboards just could not compete with the low price of the ubiquitous, made-in-Mexico, 3.0-liter 135-hp sterndrive engine sourced from GM PowerTrain. here

Bow seat cushions are secured with push-pin device, and the smooth, molded compartment can be used as a cooler. more

I had a chance to run the SSV 170, and it's a great little boat. It's manufactured with the VEC closed-mold system that forms the hull and stringer system with flotation as a single part. This is a solid foundation that produced no creaks and groans in rough water. The one-piece deck is a traditional fiberglass part and includes the aft seating area and consoles. Carpeting is glued to the sole. The standard, low-profile wind deflector is made of dark polycarbonate, but can be replaced with an optional full-glass windshield ($453). [links]

That price equation, however, will change in 2010 when new emissions regulations from the EPA will make fuel injection and an exhaust catalyst standard equipment on the 3.0-liter. EFI and a cat are already required on 3.0-liter sterndrive engines sold in California and New York, and the upcharge ranges from $1,700 to $2,750, depending on the boat builder. Everyone will pay that added cost in 2010.
