Dang! That thing looks massive and MEAN!!

Considering most guys would want twins for anything seriously offshore, the 1600# weight is going to be a tough nut to work with.

They're going to need to offer this beast in a 35" or 40" length ...... well, unless it runs ok completely submerged at times.

Lots of SKA boats now running triple 225/250's, with a total engine weight of over 1800-1900 lbs. Twin 350's with a total weight of 1606 seems to me to be a better solution.

And this looks like a good idea for a single on the back of a 23'

Of course, twin 250's on a flotation bracket on the back of a Sceptre still look better sitting at the dock.
I saw a yellow one this week at Crackers restaurant in Crystal River w/ older twin 250 2 stroke Yamaha's.

I like the thought of another 100hp on my 23' but @ $26k when I only paid $7,500 for my hull is outside my retirement budget
