74 25' SEAFARI with twin outboards

[0179]

please give me your 2 cents worth as I try to complete my project! I have gotten my transom redone and my twin engine gill bracket with twin 150 carb mercs are on the bracket. I was hoping that I could get some input from some of you guys that own 23's with twins on a bracket. I just want to know if you had to raise the deck height to allow for proper draining through the scuppers. I promise I will post my pictures when I get done. I've got a feeling that she may be the only 25 seafari in existence with outboards! Give me all the input or advice that you can. I'm in deep now and dont want to make any costly mistakes at this point. thanks in advance

AAron, I am curious to hear why your using a Gill bracket? They provide no floation and make the weight of the motors even heavier, hence the stern drops and wet toe's. I had one on my Seavette when I bought it.
The other thing to think about is rerouting the deck drains threw the transom instread of threw the bottom of the hull.
I can't say for the 25's, but the big drain problem boats were the 20's.
A floation bracket would surely set you right as rain.

the bracket that i have is a gil drive which does add flotation as it is hollow.
