Default Ls3 or Ls7 marine

Replacing my ls1 in my custom tritoon boat.Broke a rod last season and messed up internal parts.It didn't have enough hp anyway.Wanting to replace with either a LS3 or LS7. Need advice on which would be the best.I am looking for around 7 to 800 hp.Looking at the cadillac cts supercharger for a little boost to get me where i want to be.Want to use pump gas.Thank you.

If you going boost It'll be best to go iron block.

LS3 offers a tremendous value. Do you plan to rebuild either motor prior to your boosted 800hp goal?
