Re: 5.7 Bravo 3 Vs. 7.4 Bravo 1 Talari
The B3 will be an improvement with holeshot. You can even re-prop it with a 3/4 blade combo which is supposed to be the ultimate setup for both holeshot and efficiency. However even in the stock configuration, where you'll really notice the big difference with a B1 & B3 drive is maneuverability, especially at low speeds (think docking/loading on trailer).
The 350 with the B3 would be a good combo, depending on what you spend the majority of your time doing on the water. The 7.4L will obviously give you a bit more torque and grunt for watersports and things like that, but if you're spending the majority of your time cruising on plane, the 350 will be a bit more wallet-friendly at the fuel dock...
