I voted twin egg beaters, however the smart money will be CC.

Twin outboard, but 2 stroke, not Verados

Why a 2-stroke? just out of curiosity...

Mainly just because I prefer them for performance, but also the boats COG was designed for the weight of 2 strokes.

what was the biggest/heaviest motor at the time when they were in production? I know the 350sci verado is only 134lbs heavier then the 300xs Optimax.....is 260lbs gonna make that big a difference on the back?? I dont know as i have not had a performance O/B before. :)

I would say the biggest heavyiest would have been the evinrude v-8 300. I am sure it would work with the Verado's, just not my preference.

hi wally, that weight difference will surely make a big difference. i have a 25pp with twin 300x's and those motors are a little heavy for the back so i did a little weight distribution to get the boat to
be balanced ok. so i think from first hand experience a pair of 300xs with a little weight distribution would be awsome.

Have you considered putting on a twin engine bracket box? I dont know if it would work in this case but i know they do add floatation.
