There is a thread around here about your boat a couple of the concerns were:

As somebody already said here the scuppers are going to be low, I expect it will be wet all the time.

Where could you put twin controls was another, I have no idea.

I've seen v-20's with a 225 on it, mine has a 200 & will go 46mph (GPS).

I think you are mistaken about the fuel tanks too, other here would know better but I think it's 2-20 gallon saddle tanks.

I hope you got a good deal & I'd love to see how fast it will go but before I put much $$ & time into it I'd do the following:

Check the compression on those outboards.

Check the lower units for tolerances - counter rotating lower units are high $$.

Check the transom, that's a heck of a lot of stress with 280 HP.

Put it in the water, I'm afraid it may be pretty wet.

Sorry to be so negative, maybe it's my mood today. Good luck with your project.
