Thanks Strick I will be searching for those posts that you mentioned. I guess there are some 25s out there, I'd like to see what they look like so I can do some dreaming too.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to change the appearance of gramps boat as I think it looks alot cleaner without actually seeing the motor back there and it's more practical for fishing. Also, I think there is a good reason Mr. Potter put an IO in her and if the old 327 ever gave up the ghost, I would most probably replace it with the same setup (maybe a few more horsepower)but still, I like the idea of twins for the safety factor when you're miles from the mainland. I usually tow my 10' zodiac w\15 merc when I go on long trips but that's a pain when you just want to go fishing for the day. Gramp used to have a 20 merc kicker on a bracket before he installed the swim platform but I don't really like the look of that either. The fact is, I pray that the motor doesn't crap out as I can't afford 30 to 40 large for the mods and twins but a guy can dream right?
