Don,t worry about it ,it will run nice with 2 x 225 hp outboards ,I did a Scarab 31 Viper that had 2 x 454,s with bravo,s to 2 x 225EFI Mercury outboards ,the boat run 62 MPH with no prop tweaking at all ,no engine height ,I just used a stainless marine bracket with 20 inch setback and centerline lowers even with the bottem ,and it run great.
Have no info about how the boat ran with the 454,s as I bought it with no power ,but I guess the boat would have run 65-67 mph with the twin big blocks ..
I use 24 pitch choppers ,and still have 200 rpm left (5600 rpm ,and 5800 is the max) I think when I had some more /better bow lifting props with 4 blades it would have run 66 mph too

Contact Billy Frenz at the N.P.B.A. (National Powerboat Association) I think he may be Frenzy on the forum. He did just that on his 33 Fountain and I think he still has the boat. I do remember it having triples though.

Those 225's will make one slow mofo.
Re-glass the transom, sell the 225's and get a good pair of 502 mag's or 496HO's with B1's and run it like you stole it.
Good luck with it.

goosesgarage, To give you a comparision I did over a MAGNUM SEDAN. When I bought it in '98, it had 225 Merc's on Gil brackets, motors were mounted too low, than 1 blew up. I than found a pair of 300 Pro Max w/SportMaster lowers, installed a Stainless Marine 18" bracket, IMCO steering & 4-blade 24* props... boat did 71GPS. Next I purchased a pair of 300 X motors & labed props... runs 80GPS today !!! PM me for more info on your build. "HIGH LIFE"
