Vetus 65 Vs Yanmar 55 engine

Hi team,
I am getting quotes for repowering my boat. So far I have a 55hp Yanmar and a 65HP Vetus (based on the Hyundai engine). They are both about the same money - are new and being installed by good dealers. Obviously the Vetus bang for buck is better deal - but I am wondering what one I should go with (Yanmar is Marine engine...designed as such, the Vetus is a marinised one from a car/truck etc), Yanmar will have better resale I guess...but on a 40" 13 tonne boat I am sure the Vetus will not rev very hard - does anyone have any experience that may help me make up my mind.

Fair winds..

John.
