21' w/ twin 200 outboards
I got the motors and now I need setup info. Anybody use a bracket? With the single and jack plate ( 24 4 blade trophy) the boat runs pretty flat w/out much bow lift. Any thoughts?

This is a photo I found from another thread. Twins sure look cool- espically with the short offshore mids!
I'm sure that a single 250, or 300 would be more practical. Although, if you're considering twins on a 21- "practical" isn't really of concern I'm guessing.

What year and make of motors do you have?
Depending on what they are, I'd think that you could sell both and buy a nice 250, or 300. Also, rigging the extra motor is gonna costs some dough to do it right, so add that in as well... imo, you'd probably be better off going with a larger single and selling your two motas.
I'd like to know how that yellow 21 handled with the twins on it and speeds he got out of that boat. Anyone know anything about it?

Nick, It was my friend Joes boat. I don't remember the top end but he stated that the acceleration (sp) would snap your neck. I am going to see him today, I 'll find out top end

What kind of shape is the boat in? Is the transom tie-bared already? Twins will put alot more stress on a transom that already requires extra support with one big motor and some setback.
