Crazy idea??? Or brilliant!!!! What's your opinions?

Twin top's would be COOL... Would use 3 times as much fuel as a single modern engine tho

There's a guy in my marina with twin 9.9s on an aluminum boat. I guess so he can run on lakes with a 9.9 maximum, but it still looked odd to me.

Nope that would be 19.8 hp... He'd have to disable one... Tilt up, pull prop, etc depending on the state.

I meant running on one engine. Why he wouldn't just have a kicker is beyond me.

Well it seems so far the general consensus is that it would in fact be cool, just very inefficient. This is just something that popped in my head and there's probably a 1.7% chance it will actually happen. I used to have an Aquasport 240 and the Aquasport Forum guys with the 22-2 Flatbacks were all about strapping twin 75 four strokes on them and I thought it was pretty cool to see.

Still haven't gotten the verdict on if my motor will need a sleeve or not so I'm just tossing all sorts of things around in my head. I've favorited 4 running 115 TOP's on Craig's. None of them are over $1100. So tempting to go pick a couple of them up and just do it but gotta think about the big picture of what's best for the boat.

I had read somewhere that these boats were rated for twin 115's but I can't find anyone that's actually got one. I'd like to see one and get input from someone who has done it.

Hell for 1000 you can haul off my whole boat with running 115 top and a good spare powerhead.
