Pair of 40hps if you want a twin setup..

I have always thought about a twin set up on a 5.4m searider, but never found engines I want, now found engines but no boat.. but if you have thought about re-engining there are these two..

I might pursue these for my 4.7 project. Jasper put a pair of 30's on a 4.7 about 2 yars ago for a customer and I always wanted to do it for me!

I know the 4.7 is only rated for twin 30's, but it also depends on the weight, these two look like the older style 30/40 block 2 cylinder models rather than the 3 cylinder heavier models..
I am doing the same with this little Avon S3.45 at the moment. Putting a model 40c tohatsu on the back which weighs 61kg as oppossed to the 25 yamaha on there at the moment which weighs 59kg.. but the equivalent 3 cylinder tohatsu 40 weighs another 10 - 15 kilos.

Long time ago i used to use a Avon 5.4 with twin yam 40's on the back it was a good set up but did land stern heavy.

Oh, i want twins again, not the ones that are about to come in from school and clear the cupboards ... petrol ones would be much cheaper and fourstrokes a lot quieter lol

Trouble is an Avon will be sooooo slow with twin 40s and manual start, that will be fun on a cold winter morning

An avon would be a wee bit quicker with this on the back

You can not spin in a circle with that relic 85 on the back..

Speaking of slow Pete!! Didn't you have a Diesel Pac 22!!

Have you still got that Crazy Tohatsu with the 150 on the back?

If I want to go fast I'll borrow your Tohatsu? I'm very much into RIB Dressage nowadays.

I'd have to have my pockets very full of Oil money and my tummy very full of Hennessy to pay 1200 quid for a 23 year old 2 stroke
