I agree with Strick, consider a single. No reason for twins unless you are chartering clients, Seatow and or a Kicker motor. I dont know what your seas are like, Very rarely have Been able run on full power on a single 150 or 200hp, due to seas being to big. Remember that is alot of displacement, big and unnecessary fuel burn, A single 250>300 would be plenty.How often do new or or modern OB leave you stranded? Although I run an EFI 2 stroke Yamaha, I really like the Evinrudes They are truly bullet proof and great fuel economy.Good luck just get out there and start working on her, I am finishing a restoration and once you get working on it, you dont need motivation, you will have momentum.
