Ultimate outboards for V21

[spareparts]

Ridge and Ferm, my buddy Marc(the T-Top guy) just got his 25 Sea Vee up and running, its been a long restoration and its looking sharp. He's got a pair of stock 200 EFI mercs on the back of a twin bracket, with 20" offshore mids(sounds great) spinning 24 choppers, he got 68.2 running against the rev limiter. Tried it this week with 26 choppers, still hitting the rev limiter, GPS stopped working, having water pressure issues. So far he's not even trimming the engines. Thought about the porta marine low water nose cones(the plastic ones), will probably end up with Bobs cones on them. He' got the prop shafts 5 1/2 inches above the bottom(lots of set back) and it still launches like a rocket. I'll get some pics for ya'll

Water runs low 90s here this time of year. Of course that's what a 105 to 110 heat index will get you. God I'm ready for fall!!

Since we are on the subject. What about twin 200 2.5l? Hell with the bracket i plan to build it is more than capable of taking them and with the added flotation the V will sit about where it sits now with one motor on the transom.

My uncle had twin 140 crossflows on a bracket fabbed out of steel and then glassed over. That was alot of weight.

A 2.5L 200 is about ten pounds heavier than my 150 Johnson. Holy cow steel framing on a bracket would almost take away the flotation the bracket would provide. Not to mention if water did get in it, it wouldn't have much life.
