I think a pair of 115's, or 130's will work fine. The problem is weight. Modern 115's are all nearly 400 lbs, even the new Etecs. Twin Etec 115's or Optimax 115's will certainly be adequate power. However, I agree with the idea of a single motor in the 250-300 hp range as a better choice, as long as you add a reliable 8-15 hp kicker motor for long runs offshore.

Well its been a while I have the transom in the old girl all composite! Wont have to this again Iam going to start removing all the rigging and start over the outside is in good shape has good shine I wont to fill in all the little screw holes and go back and paint the textured areas in a light gray on the inside re do all the teak and remove the t-top and fill in the holes I dont wont any screw holes in the deck Iam going to make a radar arch with rod holders and a fold out top. This is a dumb question but would anyone happen to know off the top of there head what legnth hyd steering hoses they used on a single 23 CC? Mine has old hynatics and it leaks every were. Do u think I could use a regular Seastar helm and keep the cylinder and get rid of the preasure tank ? I would think it has enough psi to work the cylinder.

As far as the hoses go, you can get Parker hose and reusable ends, make the hoses any length you want, probably need a new helm to run the system w/o the resovoire tank
