bracket on a 1978 23'

[JohnB]

I thought that twins were an overkill on a boat like a 23" SeaCraft (until I got a boat that came with twins)

Now I am on my 2nd SeaCraft with twins. They are great to have.

If your running the middle grounds or bahamas out of Florida, or the Canyons up north, twins are nice, but a bigger boat is even better . 23' seems to be the edge of where twins make sense. A big 23' with a big bracket is ok, but whether you have 1 or 2 motors, it's still a open 23' boat. I guess the reliability of twins is an option, but I would rather have a satilite phone, 2 radios, and SeaTow than a second motor. As for speed, you can rarely run wot in the open ocean.

Can you get a SeaCraft up on plane with 1 motor? I have never tried that. I wouldn't have twins unless I knew I could get on plane with one motor. Just my opinion...
