Definatly want to stay with twins decided to spend a little to prolong the life of the 150's so i can save up for bigger and better things. Finster if you see this your persistance played a part in that decision. AS far as the weight issue i have a jon boat for the shallows, gotta love the shallows but we have a huge bay system here and the twins will hopefully insure my return both there and on the trips offshore.
P.S. the snow was great we made 6' snowmen at home in santa fe and on the beach at galveston, thats a once in a lifetime opportunity here in south east texas. Our first and possibly only white x-mas.
