Default Re: worn out 150's

The 90's will be fine. in the early 80's, when I was at Waterway marina in Palm Beach Garden's Florida, we sold several '23 Seacrafts with twin 115's, and even one with twin 3 cyl. 70 hp Johnsons.
I believe the one with twin 70's did about 28-29 knots (33 mph) at WOT and cruised easily at 23-24 knots. It would NOT, however, get on plane with only one engine. The twin 115's would still plane on a single engine, as long as you tilted the other out of the water.
