Re: extra power

you'll need another identical engine to your 30hp -same make,model and shaft length-then buy 2 new props with a longer (but identical) pitch. Go to an outboard dealers and ask about it. The ones round your way are quite helpful. Your wife is wrong, it'll make a big difference. I doubt it'll be as fast as if you put a 60hp on your boat because 2x30hp will be heavier but if one engine goes down you'll still be able to get home fairly quick.
