Two very opposite opinions. Exactly what I was looking for. I love hearing both sides of the case.
Destroyer, I love the idea of twin 115 Merc Tower O Powers and believe it or not they seem to be plentiful on Craig's. Of course even with finding 2 running ones I still believe I would freshen them both up (rings and bearings) to try and match their performance close as possible. I'm finding them in running condition anywhere from $850-$1500. Not bad in my opinion. Transom has already been built up to a 25" but not that any of that matters as she would have to be widened.
Smoke, I agree 100% of what you said is correct, but most importantly the first thing, twins are COOL, not practical. Although maneuverability on these boats isn't bad and having a kicker will suffice as a backup motor as well, how F-in cool would a V-20 be with twin Tower O Powers??? I mean the boat turns head already why not keep adding to the madness.
