I like Spare's idea about the Yammie 90s or 2.4 Mercs.

The Mercs for hotrodding, with the tank moved forward to mid ship, the windsheild removed, the front deck extended back with the helm moved back some too.

The Yamahas for light off shore trolling somewhere remote and tropical.

I believe a 78 or 79 model V20 would be good for twins due to the extra wide splash well.

Bradford, you just hit on my thinking, too...twin 90s plus a bracket sounds like a lot of weight, where if you had one of the wider trannies like the years you mention, save yourself the added weight of the bracket...flotation or not...

I still like the idea of twin 115 T.O.P. Mercs. They have a great power to weight ratio, and those 1150 engines just growl like no other. Plus, with their 312 lbs weight and their thin footprint you could fit them on the transom.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
