Thanks Kalaazar, I'ld like to see pictures of your motors installation w/ remote oil filters & how you installed & ran the power steering. Your set up is similar to what I'm considering with the 72. I'm researching the single to understand the pros & cons. I'm most likely will stay with the twins. If you can't post pictures here just add @gmail.com after my member name to send pictures to my email address...

My 1971 "restromod" 27 Sport has a new pair of 383 ci`s on Bravo 1 drives with full power steering.
I like the sound of twins, the added security for Offshore use, a pair of handed props in place of all the power turning one way. Should I have to work in the engine compartment, 4 bolts on each side of each motor removes the Stainless Marine exhaust manifolds and I have all the space I need. Remote fit the oil filters and remote fit the block and manifold drains, what else do you need to get to that requires all this space I keep hearing about ?
Anyway that my view for what it`s worth

i'm going fly by wire & mpi with vessel view display.
My test boat is Verado powered with smartcraft.
I can only compare it to paddle shifters vs 4 speed in a performance car & the amount of data is amazing...

I'm "chuffed to bits" to make back to Blighty this summer!
I'll take care of the throttles, trim and steering. you guys can sit back and enjoy your Pimm's and lemonade.
