Default Looking for the next engine performance project !!!

Now that I've done the Etec 200 HO thing, and posted at least half a dozen not so important threads about it all.......

I'm looking for the next big idea, project etc.

So here it is - the etec comes off the boat......and I rig up twins, that's right TWO 9.5 hp evinrude long shaft outboards:

1. Use less fuel
2. Even lighter
3. Twin get home performance so I can fish the canyons, troll for tuna, and run back.

That, plus a proper tuna tower on my V21.

this is starting to remind me of that Boston Whaler that was on the hull truth a while back that had a 225 Fourstroke, with twin 9.5 kickers, a tower and about a million rod holders(all with drains or caps to prevent water from entering)

That's funny. Have seen a few " rigged " small boats over the years.
There was a 16-18' with outriggers that caught some attention.

I remember seeing that thing. It was like it was a joke or something, but the guy was seriously into the boat.

I wish I could find a picture of that thing, it was like he took a west marine catalog and ordered 10 of everything in it and bolted it to his boat. He had more in stainless hardware than the boat was worth
