Thanks JohnB......I just like the safety of twins. I currently have a 24 I/O WAC that I added a kicker bracket to....just so I can aim for home even if only at 6 knots.
Twin 150's would be good power I think, especially in the Opti. I'm building the bracket ala Strick and Big, so I'm going with a wide tub that roughly follows the contour of the hull about 3-4 inches up at the keel panels, less at the mid panel. I haven't calculated the flotation yet, but
it should be at least 2-300 lbs, and with the extra width
it'll add up fast as the stern sits deeper.
