REPOWER-I/O OR O/B

[RICHV]

I KNOW THIS IS A QUESTION THAT SHOULD HAVE IT'S OWN SITE BUT I AM GOING FOR IT ANYWAY. I GOT SOME GOOD ANSWERS ON WHETHER TO USE A SINGLE OR DUAL OUTBOARD. BUT I STILL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.IF I PUT TWIN 150'S ON A BRACKET WILL IT BE EQUIVALENT TO A SINGLE 225 O/B. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU CAN LOOSE UP TO 30% OF YOUR HP WHEN YOU DO A TWIN SET UP. THE MAIN QUESTION I HAVE IS THIS- HAS ANYONE CONVERTED TO AN O/B AND NOW WISH THEY HAD NOT AND IF SO WHY? THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT I HAVE BEEN OUT ON NUMEROUS SEACRAFTS BUT THEY ALL HAD 255 HP I/O'S. IS THE RIDE AND CONTROL THAT MUCH DIFFERENT.BUT SINCE I AM A GUY IT JUST MAKES MORE SINCE TO ME TO HAVE TWIN 150'S BRACKETED ON THE BACK- IT JUST LOOKS SWEETER. THE BAD PART TO THAT IS, MY WIFE GOT THE QUOTES ON THE TWIN 150'S AND HAS PUT THE CHECKBOOK UNDER LOCK AND KEY. WHEN THERE IS A 6K (SINGLE 250) AND 12K (TWIN 150'S)DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 300 HP HORIZON WITH A BRAVO 1 I/O. THE SAYING I TOLD HER DIDN'T HOLD ANY WATER. (THE BOAT WILL LOOK AWESOME WITH TWINS ON THE BACK OF IT- HONEY) AFTER THAT COMMENT I SHOULD OF JUST LOADED THE GUN FOR HER. EITHER WAY THE BOAT IS GETTING A COMPLETE REPOWER AND NO OLD PARTS ARE BEING USED. I HAVE ONE MONTH TO SOLVE THIS QUESTION AND I THINK I HAVE OPENED UP A BAG OF WORMS. I'M SURE EVERYONES OPINION WILL BE DIFFERENT AND QUITE INTERESTING. AFTER READING THIS SITE I HAVE COME TO ONE CONCLUSSION. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A ROUGH DEBATE PUT A GROUP OF SEACRAFT OWNERS IN A BAR WITH AN OPEN TAB AND ONE HOUR LATER ASK THE SIMPLE QUESTION. WHAT IS BEST I/O OR O/B. THAN GET OUT OF THE WAY.IF 30 MINUTES LATER ANY ONE IS STILL STANDING ASK THE QUESTION TIDEWATERPLASTIC@AOL.COM SINGLE OR DUAL O/B'S WHICH IS BEST. BY THE WAY THIS SITE IS GREAT.
