Can I use 2-200 4 strokes on my 1986 Grady White Sailfish? Honda 200 or Yamaha 200s. These motors are substantially heavier than my 155 Johnsons. I am getting mixed opinions.
You might consider a new setback mount with added floatation chambers . Expensive I'll bet,but you could then compensate for the added wieght, add the ability to mount and tilt-out, without taking up any deck space at all.<br />It sounds like a fantastic project you have going on.Got any pics?<br />This is the kind of project I'd like to take-on, but can't afford it right now..I'm thinking about getting an older PennYan, Grady, or Bertram offshore hull,and having fun with it. but i'll have to just dream for now.<br />But it would be great to able to follow-along.<br />For now, here are a couple links for brackets..I like the Armstrong with floatation (to offset the extra weight).<br /><br /> http://www.armstrongnautical.com/brackets.html <br /><br />There are gobs of outfits that makle these,but none are cheap.<br /><br /> http://www.continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/engineBrackets.html
