Marc, twin 150s really were an excellent match for the 245/250 Osprey or Explorer.  I swear, the last year and 1/2 I was building them, 2 out of 3 245/250s were twins..Yam, Merc, or OMC...

but you hardly see any twins on the market.... thats why i was all over the one in our marina but the guy wouldnt budge...  :cry:

Yeah I doubt I'll ever get rid of my 245. I'll just end up repowering her down the road with either a BIG single or twins. Then maybe spend some money fixing her up now and then.

Aaron, a lot of those 245s and 250s headed up N to the Chesapeake and Jersey areas, and a whole lot more to S FL, Miami and Lauderdale...

Well done, Bryan.  Just one, yes, one, teeny tiny gripe.  I would have aligned the rigging hoses so that they were "in sync" with each other.  Like on this twin Yam I did...



But that's just me, I like the look.  Excellent, otherwise!! :salut:

That is so funny, it bothers me to see it this way.
David utilized the existing Yamaha hole.
I think, I would like to have it re drilled and the original hole filled in, yeah?

Also, what do you think about white cable housings?

NO WHITE!!!  WHITE BAD!!!

Seriously, white just discolors, you'll hate it in a couple years.  Stick with the black, you'll thank me... :thumright:

Bryan, you can get the look you want simply by "twisting" around the rigging hose.  Provided the fuel and oil lines inside the hose can take it.

The way I do it is the way I was taught many moons ago by my good friend Tony Fernandez.  Every time I rig a motor, I have him to thank for that... :salut:
