Welcome to the site.

I'd say when MJ and CB would stand in the back of MJ's old V, that was the most.

Skools Out is putting twin 225 OMC's on his V-20.

There's an old thread in "Performance" section with a picture of a V with twin 70 h.p. outboards and some discussion of twins. Twin 90's would be sweet.

Yamaha has that 90 2stroke motor that looks tiny, a pair of them would do it.

yeah that would be nice with two. just concerned about if one went out. i dont think those 3cyl have enough low end. weight is nice 261lbs per.

A 200 hp is going to be over 500 pounds, I had a Cuddy 1975 with a bracket and 175 hp. 400 pounds.

Twin 90's or 100's will be fine, and if one went out a single 90 or 100 would get you up to 15 to 20 knots I am sure.

Welcome to the site and lets see the pictures, and were are you located??
