Default Re: More on twins for 23'ers...

Hay Sandman !

I can sell you some 235 evinrudes that weigh less than your 150s... Oh, you said CURRENT tech and not prehistoric....

Seriously, I might be wrong as I have not ridden in your setup but I'm guessing that at 5K with the rudes you are not turning those engines at right RPM WOT anyway and that tweaking the existing props would get you more. You should be up 5500/5600 rpm, right? And that top speed seems on the low side for a 23 without a top when some guys WOT @ 46 with a single 225/250. So I guess where I'm going is that maybe properly tweaked / propped Suzi 140s might be comparable to what seems less than tweaked Rudes you are currently running.
