Guest lbgking Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Whats faster??? Two 25 hp's or one 50 hp????? Just out of curiousity..... Little Johnny is talking to father Michael about holy water. Father Michael says to Johnny "holy water is full of gods miracles. And that just yesterday he had wiped some holy water on a ladies belly and this morning she passed a baby." Johnny says "thats nufffin. this mornin I wiped some metho on a cats arse and it passed a motorbike." I Don't think it would matter mate. One engine has less hassles that two. e.g servicing. 25hp will still see you flying past many productive fishing holes.

tiger_shark Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Out of the hole , or top speed ? Ross I'm talking top speed.....i'm thinking that the 2 would be faster off the mark and the one would get it at top speed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Power to weight ratio should tell you the single 50hp would be quicker and more economical I used to have twin 60s on a de havilland trojan changed it to a single 150 heaps faster and a lot less fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 the single is faster top speed and more economical to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domza Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 the single is faster top speed and more economical to run I agree, but the doubles give you more of a piece of mind, especially if you are going offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamC Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 The issue is service costs on 2 motors verses one, and one motor carrying the weight home of its dead brother - It has to be able to get up on the plane (in marginal conditions) to get you home........ Here 50hp and 50hp do not equal 100hp. You really need twin 60's. (most manufactures use the same block (same weight) on the 60hp as the 70hp, except the Mercury 60hp last time I checked).
