This seems like a good deal, if you get them let's do some tuna trips, you can be the pilot boat! https://victoria.craigslist.ca/bpd/d/pair-of-225-hp-mercury-verados/6669825047.html

Absolutely! I will be giving the tuna thing a go next year for sure. I'm in no hurry for power so I'm going to be patient and wait for some lower hour twins . I may even buy new . Looks like I'll be going with twin 200s at least.

Subscribed to this thread as I am considering the removal of the single 320hp Volvo in my 26' Hourston. It has a new dual prop leg and when that was installed I moved from an F5 to an F3 prop set which made it very efficient and fast to plane. I was looking at a single 300HP verado and keeping my 9.9 yami but I think there is an argument to be made on both sides, for and against twins. Hourston rigged a few of these boats with twin 175HP 2 strokes so the torque was there...my guess what might work best is a pair of 200's. The boat is about 7,000 lbs or so and having a pair of twins back there in the Straits sounds good to me on a number of levels.
OP who are you going to have build your pod? Thanks.

Stamp falls fabrication I think is who ill use. There is another guy that was recommended to me but I haven't talked to him yet.

Cheers and thanks, I will be watching the build out for sure...I need to go to Coombs in the next while so I will reach out to the folks at Stamp Falls to go by for a visit. Being on the mainland I am not exactly finding what I am after in terms of a builder so this is likely heading to the Island.

I just had the pod and engines hung. I’ll start a new thread here once I fire everything up.
