SeaMaster, I too have a 1978 but I think my console is different than yours. If you go with twin 150's I think that is an awesome power package, I would also seriously consider twin yam 130's. Pretty good gas mileage, 27kt cruise and 45mph top. I had them on the boat before my 115 4s Suzuki's. 150 may up the top end by 5mph but will probably burn 17-18gph vs 14 with the 130's. You'll get good oomph from the 130's. I assume you are buying used or leftover engines to save $$$. You will be disappointed with a single 225 in my opinion.

How much time is herm going to take? Dare I ask a ball park estimate of what you plant to spend?
