Of course a year or so later they're here askin' how to Boost their Horsepower.
If water sports are going to be a big part of your use, it would be a good idea to look at the TS series. The Volvo forward drive makes a huge difference when a boat is used for tow sports. here
When I bought my boat there was a test ride, maybe ask for two in order to compare. Most boat sales folks are just like car sales, they will say anything to get you to buy. more
Ayuh. Welcome Aboard. In All my time here, I've yet to find anybody complain 'bout havin' To Much Horsepower. [links]
Edit: also note there getting some of the extra HP by increasing the RPM more
On a 20', 3,100lb boat the difference is roughly 4mph. Both have max RPMs of 5,800. Both are 5.3L unless you go to the 6.0L? Which gives you an additional .9mph increase.

If you like bells and whistles, the new generation Volvo Penta gasoline marine engines will be appealing. The just-announced 5.3-liter V8 and a 4.3-liter V6 revealed earlier this year will form the core of the future Volvo Penta sterndrive engine range. Both engines are based on the General Motors Gen V engine series, and are packed with features GM has developed for automobile applications, including an aluminum block, direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, and an emissions system utilizing the latest wide-band oxygen sensors. Volvo Penta says these engines will deliver stronger acceleration and better fuel economy than the engines they replace, while also being significantly lighter in weight. The 5.3-liter V8 will be offered with a 300 horsepower or 350 horsepower rating. The 4.3-liter V6 is rated at 200, 240 or 280 horsepower.
Here’s feedback on the 5.3-liter V8 from Christophe Levigne, Vice President of Engineering at Rec Boat Holdings: “The most impressive improvement is coming from the mid-range acceleration,” said Lavigne. “It literately throws you back in the seat. Having that additional rush of power, while the boat is already on plane at fair speed, makes the driving experience more thrilling.” Zoom zoom, indeed.
