Is a T235 with the M5 motor under powered

I thought I watched an axis video by Gunter Oka loading his T250 HEAVY and saying it only had the M5 at it worked fine for him in Florida, but  we are at 3500’ and a lot of the lakes are even higher and our dealer won’t order even the t220 with the M5.

big boats and small motors is def not the best idea, the m5 is a 5.3 liter, what a mistake if you are unsatisfied, seems like a lot of stock or custom ordered m5 are for sale and have been for a couple years now.  there is no way that decision works well with big crews or at elevation.  it would probably take the equivalent to an acme 2419 or an oj 945 which were go to for 5.7 with a 1.5/1 drive line with big loads and/or at high elevation but running high high rpms.
