Currently this awesome boat is powered with some very tired 130 yamahas. These motors don't owe me a penny. In fact with over 3000hrs I'm about to owe them . It's time to repower! I want to go with 4 strokes but weight is an issue. She's rated for 300hp but twin 150s is just to heavy. A pair of 115s will be close to the same weight and hp since the old yamahas hp was rated at the head. I can also drop a lot of weight and go with a single 250 or 300. I would drop 170 lbs and gain big speed but sacrifice redundancy and maneuverability. Anyone ever repower with a single over twins and regret it? Any suggestions. Thanks
