Seafox 256CC is the make and model number. http://www.seafoxboats.com 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. DownTime |
