33" spread
Being that you have trs, and depending how long thwe risers are you should have a fair amount of rubber exhaust hose from riser to the tip. Not that its very flexible but it should spread 1.5 inches. Even if i had to cut and weld the end of the tip on a small angle to make sure that no water leaks, it's cheaper than getting a custom set of exhaust made up for now, i just keep thinking do it cheap and decent to get you going then decide what you really want as your having a couple of drinks on the water this summer.
I paid bigmoney for a set of ' rebuilt motors' and they're now in getting done properly after just 40hrs. It doesn't sound like the seller knew too much about yours to begin with, could have just been a Varsol overhaul.
If you're going to do any salt water running i was told to stay away from the cheaper lightnings (1600 $) the inner tube is stainless while the outer is steel. In order to get both stainless you have to pay ---$2100/pr

I stand corrected -- just went out and measured, 28" per motor is somewhat standard, and with 36" center of motor to center of motor i have 6" between the Imco's. Hope that helps. Dave

Mine are at 33" centers and I have gils, there is 1/4' between the manifolds. They are not fun to get on and off but it can be done. I now just pull the motor, manifolds and all.
