Smallest outboard ever on a V ?

my old boat the teal/green one. When my uncle owned it he had twin 140 crossflows on the back on a steel/fiberglass bracket. That was some serious weight, he said that he used to always run with some tab down even with the motors having the fins on them. he said speed was around 55mph. I dont remember if he could get on plane with one motor or not. I would assume he could.

Bought my first V - '73 cuddy - with twin 140 Johnsons hanging on a shoddy transom repair. Motors weren't rigged and the boat was never launched with the twins. I suspect it would've sank as it slipped off the trailer.

Took motors off, had the transom repaired "right", rebuilt trailer and repowered with just one of the 140's on a jackplate. Ended up selling boat/motors separately and buying my V21.

that twin set up looks awesome. those engine were not that heavy probably the same weight as a big v-6 with a bracket.

How about 12 electric motors hung on the back - all rigged to one " throttle "

I bet a V would hit............... 5 mph that way.
