I recently purchased a Seaark 24ft Aluminum workboat from the US Navy. It does not have an engine. Originally it had Volvo 165hp inboard but was converted to outboards by the Navy. It has a add on Armstrong outboard bracket on the stern that measures 41.5 inches across. Through research I was able to determine that this boat at one time had two Mercury 150hp two stroke outboards. I am wondering if 41.5 inches is wide enough to fit two 150hp or 130hp Honda four strokes? <br /><br />I also know that the four strokes are much heavier that two strokes. It looks like the 2-stroke Mercury outboards weighed approx. 395lbs each and a couple of Hondas would be around 500lbs each. I think the boat could handle an extra two hundred pounds. <br /><br />Thanks in advance for any comments.<br /><br />Dave
