Yeah, so am I. It's my brother's 24 foot boat which he uses for
waterskiing. (You'd have to ask him for detailed specifications.) Oh,
and he drives a 260 horsepower 1.8 liter turbocharged "buzzy engine" and
tows it, too.
Your misguided assertions about the abilities of little engines were true
in the past, but they're just plain wrong today. Modern turbochargers
spool up very very quickly and let their engines reach maximum torque as
low as 2000 rpm.
The only replacement for displacement is technology. :)
