The twin aluminum big-block 4 cyl. FWC engines and drives outweigh the single V8 and drive by 96 lbs, according to my book.

Re: single I.O. or twin I.O.

if you are keeping the boat in the water I would definitely go with the single- twin i/o's kept in a slip are where the term "double-trouble" originated (and if it didnt, it should have!)- me personally, i dont see any advantages of twins over the single- also if planning on keeping it in the water stay away from the bravo-3, notorius(sp) for electrolysis/corrosion problems. jmo -craig
