I agree with Big. Go with a good single engine, 140 to 200, and then add a kicker in the 6-10 hp range. Then become a member of SeaTow. The kicker will get you back to where SeaTow will bring you home.

I think the heaviest twins I would even remotely consider on the back of a 20' CC with a bracket would be twin 90's, and then only if they were very lightweight 2 strokes such as older Yamahas which weighed about 270 lbs, or newer Tohatsu/Nissans, which weigh about 280 lbs. Even then that's a lot of weight.

I have rigged twin Evinrude 70's on a Seafari, back in the mid 80's, and they were okay, but you could feel the weight, and the performance was mediocre at best, while fuel consumption was gluttonous. But I have to admit, it did plane off on a single motor, even with the other motor trimmed down.

You really don't need all that power. It's just an ego thing. (But I like it, too.)
