bracket on a 1978 23'

JohnB,

I cannot get up on plane with one engine. However, I did have an issue this past summer where I was 15 miles offshore and had to come home on one engine. I averaged 8 miles per hour but made it home.

Regarding some of your other comments:
I like to go offshore and cannot afford a bigger boat at this time. A satellite phone alone is not going to cut it. Redundency is the name of the game offshore.

I bet if you poll the users that have this setup most, if not all, prefer the setup to a single engine.

Please don't take this as a bash at a single engine setup. It is not. I have had both and merely prefer the twin setup.

Peter
