following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

Howdy,

I am looking at a nice 25' center console fishing boat that weighs 3700
pounds dry and without power. Will a Suzuki 250 be enough get up and go or
will a pair of 150s be necessary? I think 3700 is pretty light for a 25'
CC
compared to a Grady or Mako. Thoughts? My piggy bank would like to say
single.

The principle reason to go with twins is redundancy. Your piggy bank
and your level of comfort with losing either some or *all* power will
have to come to terms.....

Another major reason for twins is maneuverability.

That's been beat to death and lost.
