regards

i'm sure you could but you would need some sort of gill bracket as the transom well isn't wide enough for twins, plus bigger fuel tank maybe up front to counteract the weight of the motors

thanks Burty
to much work for me maybe i'll look for a larger engine i think thats a little easier for me to fit. just been looking at the boats on here and they look fantastic with twin engines on plus they must go like stink.might save my pennies and buy a bigger phantom with the work done for me.i have been looking at the one by Cyco he must be verry happy with the end result
Regards Ray

I achieved 89.6mph in my 20 but that was GPS not an average speed
Hutchy did well over 90mph in his at records week last year both were with modded 2.5's
