I'm starting to lose count. Isn't that 7 25s on CSC? We gotta have a regatta.

Frizz, Go Cautiously. Conner's right. I had a good friend in Clearwater who pulled a couple of pushrod 6 cylinder Volvos out of a 25 Safari and put a bracket on it with two 200 Mercurys. The thing would go along and just roll over on one side because someone walked around, then trim, trim, trim, nothing - then it would roll over on the other side. Weird! It was very difficult to keep it "upright".
I think the 25's like "Iron in their belly". They'd be happier with a Cat 3208 amidships with a surface drive, I think. If you stay with the outboard plan, see if you can find some K-Planes. That might give you some stability, underway.
Conner, we need a more complete report on the Bahamas than where you slept, for Gosh sakes! I'm glad you were not with Lewis and Clark or you'd come back with a report that said "Lot's of dirt west of the Mississippi". WTH (heck)
