IMO that will be way too much weight up front. When full you are looking at close to 500 lbs.

You need to find out what the fuel burn would be with twin 90hp 3 cyl engines and then figure on how much fuel you will need. 80 gallons of fuel alone at 2mpg would provide 160 mile range. So you might only need 40 more gallons?

What a quandry :-/ I've been on 100 + but not much over 100 mile round trips with my single 150hp and 60 gallons. The most I've burned was around 50 - 55 gallons and that was coming back in Oregon Inlet. I was a little worried with nightfall approaching but at least we had other boats with us. We went past birds diving on boiling fish and I was just too nervous to stop and play.
