Default Re: twin 4 strokes

Guys, a lot of the pics I've seen have shown great improvement with a floatation bracket. Adding 300-400 pounds of additional boyancy on the back will go a long way to cancelling out the effect of the second motor plus allowing a fully enclosed transom. A 23 notch transom with twin 200 regardless of make sits real low in the back.

The Suzuki 140s also weigh 80 pounds less than the Honda 130 (170 less than the 225) that's 160 to 340 POUNDS less than the honda motors.

I'm not trying to push the Suzuki but I know people with the Honda & Suzuki OBs and they are all happy - the Suzi can usually be found cheaper too [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
