Skinny Dugan Gets Twin 150 HP Outboards
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 11:06 am
Our 1969 Alcan 3070 now has Twin 150 HP 2001 Yamaha OX 66 Saltwater series two stroke outboards. I had the boat yard do the work so the cost was a bit steep $25K USD. I had the yard rig my temporary helm to save some money. She is at the slip now and I plan to set up a dual helm in the coming months (we are in Charleston S.C.). I have not done any performance testing yet. I know the boat needs to be rebalanced (she rose ~two inches at the stern with the repower - you can see she's plowing a bit in the picture) and I'll need different props. I'll be updating this thread as the project unfolds.
Cheers,
Walt
