My bro and I have briefly talked about converting our Single screw to twin screw in order to get a little more top-end/power and fuel economy.. It seems our engine will sell for a bit less than what a 2 smaller 150s would sell for so it seems not too far out of reach.. We have an old 1983 T-Craft 24' Center Console with with a Johnson Ocean Runner 225 and only a 8ft beam.. so its kind of tight, but I was wondering what else would need to be changed in order to make this work. New Throttle stick with new cable of course, but what else? would it get expensive??
The boat is old and heavy, and we can get it up to about 35kts WOT but with about 7 people and fuel on it, 25kts WOT last week... I thought that was pretty weak and lame so I am now looking into other options..
What do you guys think??
I have added pictures of a boat that is the same as mine... pretty narrow I think for a Twin screw set-up
