As someone new to the boating scene, I am somewhat confused as to the relationship of engine size to a specific boat size. To better explain my question:
As there is a maximum speed for a given length of boat (LWL) where the hull is a displacement hull, why do some boats have much larger engines than others for a given length? Are the benefits purely reliability an surely the increased weight must offset the advantages?
