Default Single 250 or Twin 150s?

All in all, I don't think anyone can other than guess until this guy
tells us what make and model so we have an idea of hull configuration.


Another factor to consider is the primary intended usage. Cruising?
off-shore fishing? diving? I know people who are freaked out to run out
of sight of land with just a single engine, and others who say a single
OB (properly maintained) is the way to go.

In either configuration, I'd recommend as much HP as allowed by he
manufacturer that you can afford. I've had twins before, but it was
stock rigged and I felt at the time with a load of divers and gear and
fuel, that boat was under-powered. I now have a single OB (Yamaha 300
HPDI on 24 ft center console) and it suits me just fine. I've run from
home in SW Florida to the Keys a couple of times with this single OB.

Dual OBs are double the initial cost and double the on-going
maintenance. I'm more a near shore boater, so a single works great for
me. If I was a serious hard-core off-shore type, then I'd consider the
twins. And again, with as much HP as the boat can handle within your
budget.
