I will want to buy an outrage 26 that has two optimal Mercury 2 strokes that have 1500 hrs. Should I change to a 2x200 twin engine or a single engine, a 400 v10 Mercury?
The Outrage 26 has a maximum horspower rating of 450hp.
If you operate the boat in the open ocean, far from the coast, twin engines are recommended. Twin engines also allow superior low-speed manuvering.
If you are limited on money, a single 400hp will work well.
