What's involved in pairing up two 125 hp Force outboards?

[pastorbud]

I've got one 1987 Force 125 on my boat, and an identical "parts motor" I could get going again for about $400 or less. I'm just toying with the idea of getting a 21-24 foot "needs engine" boat off craigslist and converting it to twin outboards. Anybody have any experience doing that? I'm wondering where can you get twin Force controls? And what's it take to make one of the lower units counter-rotate?

They never made twin controls and you simply can not make the lower units counter. However, it is not an insurmountable task. I would do it on my 21 foot cuddy if the transom had the room. Jerryjerry has twins on his boat so he probably will jump in to tell you what he did to mount them.
