The motors that I am replacing are 2 stroke 115s. I will be using this boat for trolling. It is not practical to troll off a single 2 stroke 115 since they smoke a fair bit, they are noisy and they don't idle particularly well for extended periods. I have never liked kickers so I wanted twin four stroke power. Even at 125 hp each, which may or may not be accurate, I will be increasing horsepower, achieving my fishing needs and only adding 80 pounds. I feel pretty good that I am on the right track.
