Explorer 250 Repower
john250x:
I am considering re-powering my Explorer 250 with twin outboards. I was wondering what the max motor weight is for this hull.
I am looking at Suzuki 150 or 140 hp. The 150 is MUCH heavier and seems like the extra 20 hp is not worth the cost given the extra weight.
RickK:
If you plan on insuring it you need to stay @ 300hp or less. How is the transom set up? I am not familiar with how the Euro are set up, whether there is a notch for 1 or 2 motors.

Light reading.

Hi Rick,
I have twin Johnson 150s now, going to miss that 2 stroke power.

Thanks, Capt. Bob, some good info there
I am going to keep an eye out for a pair of used twins. Hard to justify spending 2 times what I paid for the boat on a re-power.
