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

It doesn't seem like there could be a practical reason for twins. The maneuverability argument doesn't seem to make sense: A V20 with a 150 on it maneuvers SO easily already. Has anyone ever had a problem putting a V20 where they want to? It's not like its a 40-foot beast that weighs 2 tons.

I feel like if you're really worried that your power is going to fail when you're out there, then go with a kicker. Cheaper - and you now have a trolling motor.

My 150 Merc Black Max weighs around 400 lbs. A pair of 75s, for instance weighs 265 each (according to NADA), so you're adding substantial weight for the same amount of power - and greatly INCREASING the probability that you're spending $ on maintenance (two old outboards instead of one).

Total personal thought here: I also think two "small" motors is a little goofy-looking. When I see some sweet boat roll out of the harbor with twin 300 Verados or something, I'm always kind of impressed. A pair of old 75s? Just doesn't seem to boost the "cool factor" if that's the motivation. (Just my opinion- might be on my own on that one.)

Regardless, I love this site. I check it multiple times a day and I honestly appreciate that you are always contributing to it, 3Squids. Ilook forward to more updates!
