I honestly think that trying to work with the old motors is a mistake - it seems you are always chasing some new issue and the parts eat you up =twin drives as mentioned are a big negative as well. You have to understand the limits of the power available back then, I would bet if he had todays outboards they would have come with that option, the V6 175 Merc did not come out until 1976.
Wouldn't a bracket help somewhat with roll -
kinda like a trim tab ?? as we all do on our boats a good deal of weight could be moved forward - like batteries.
Also seems cutting weight in half would have to make the boat less tail heavy - I'm kind like Don though as I have never been accused of being a rocket scientist, many other things but that wasn't one of them.
