Marty, anything beats the hell out of rowing especially if you're
in the middle of a large reservoir and the wind comes up. lol

I realize all of you are probably tired of all of these questions from
the outboard rookie here but indulge me one more time.

If a person strapped TWO of those Suzuki 2.5hp outboards (only 29 lbs.
each) to the back of the boat, one on each side, what would be the
effect? 5hp? Double the speed? Double the noise? Nothing? Just
curious...
