Not in the pics there not. The starboard motor is on a standard mid (submerged exhaust).
Im sure she will look great when finished and will go like stink.
Has the transom been reinforced to take the weight of both motors??

Both are STD..
Both legs are standard, the cover box you mention is an aftermarket part used when the standard legs are drilled to let the exhaust out over water like the original offshore-legs..
The original offshore-legs have this exhaust-nossle part to, but then the whole leg is one piece.
There are two types of offshore-legs in 20", one is the older type, common on early 2.4BP and 2.5EFi/XR2-these are angeled/ridged in the design-the otherones are more smooth-looking with the exhaust-nossle rounded etc.
Yours are standard ones..

I would hope for more than 80 as my old F1 ski Race boat back in 1990 with a pair of tuned 2.4 offshores and a pair of Rolla Props was clocked at 92 on Como and we also had Double Ride Guide steering, not Hydraulic steering as with a twin you don't get any torque steer and i much prefer to feel the boat something i think you lose a little with Hydraulic

And as someone said on a earlier reply when Jim owned the boat is was nice, I have known Jim for around 30 years and done bits and paintwork on a lot of his outfits, and he always keeps his boats in lovely condition and spares no expence ( but then that's why he was world Champion towing Steve Moore )

well got it booked in with the body shop to have all paint work done in black as I'm not a big fan of green on a yellow boat. But the engines are takeing up all of my time. I'm not very up on big outboard and it's had some mods like it's been up jeted but not ported it this to keep cly temp down. Who is the person to speak to about the motors.
Thanks josh

Andy Warwicker, the mechanic at Power Products Marine would sort them out for you. I expect he already knows the boat.
