Re: twin 115 fichts on a 20 MA
I'm with Bigshrimpin, that is way too much wieght for a 20', and keep in mind what one of the other members pointed out in another thread, the boat doesn't care that the bracket has floatation when you are on plane, it just knows that there is alot of wieght, way back there, and this will affect CG, and performance. I know this from experience. As far as having twins, it's a great concept for boat 23' and up, but for a 20', it's just not practical, especially with the reliability of today's outboards. Tow insurance, a good VHF, and if you want a warm and fuzzy feeling, a kicker (Murphy's Law states if you have it, you wont need it) will serve you just fine.
If you already own the fichts, then I see your temptation to use them, rather than trying to sell them and having to buy a new motor, but IMO, that would be a hugh mistake.
