Default Re: performance of twin 150's on 23

I'd love to see the torque curve for the 115 that will plane a 23 from offset to one side. As for planing from the middle. I've rigged more than one 23 CC with a single 140 Evinrude back in the early 80's. As I recall, we had them propped with 15" pitch props, and they had a top end of about 25 or 26 mph.

I think you could probably get a single 140/150 to plane the hull if you had the right prop to switch out when needed.
