No one has done such extensive modifications to an Outrage 17 so there are no direct experiences.
While you are free to do whatever modifications you choose, this would not be my choice of hulls.
Mindful of Phils history with a stock layout,
that alone makes me think it's time someone tests out that hulls limitations!
The weight differences seem similar enough,
and you've already experienced a heavier combo.
The worst that could happen is you don't like it,
and have two 50's to pawn off!
I think it'll slow plane with one 50...
Not to toot my horn,
but I made a 12" bracket on our old 17.
90% of the HT forum responses were negative.
In the end it's exactly what I wanted for multiple reasons,
and only took moving the battery and fuel tank 2' forward for balance.
Always fun to hot rod a good hull!

I would imagine a bracket which could accommodate twins would also need a wider bolt patter than I have access to through the splashwell, no?
As far as the cowls clearing; the transom has been raised to 25" so with that back deck/gunnels removed I will/should have adequate room. Good thought though as I also need to take into consideration tilt room for the hydraulic steering
Honda bf90 weighs 390lbs
Honda bf50 weighs 214lbs
For some reason I remember access outboard of the splash well.
Since it's gonna be custom,
the base would be better wider anyway.
So you found 25" Honda 50's?
TP
