I may not have have the best advice as the other as mine has twin 150 mercs on brackets and my center of gravity is further back than a IO but I LOVE the way mine rides and handles, its nor as light as a single eng io and it rides a little higher in the bow. it will turn on a dime but it does lean in a hard turn, I added dole fins to the lower units and it stopped a lot of the roll . Ive still got to fix My trim tabs and once I do I imagine it will Handel a lot better, good luck with the resto if you decide to take it on
