We are working on a interior re-build of a Parker 23 - deck was rotten. Boat has pair of 90's vintage 2 stroke 150's on a transom box that we want to replace. We are trying to decide whether to go to a single 250/300 or a pair of 115's. We will be fishing in the Chesapeake and near shore off New Jersey. The 250/300's both weigh 600# and the 115's weigh 400 (same as 150's) Boat seemed a bit ass heavy with the original engines. We don't need to do 40 mph but don't want to spend effectively the same $ and be underpowered. Fuel economy is also a factor. I know the 2 versus 1 is a big controversy
Also - boat has what seems to be original plastic fuel tank that seems to have 150 gallon capacity - is this typical??
Thanks
