How bad dose it roll with the higher cg on the outboards? You hear so much about cg issues on the 25's but I would think you could make it handle well with a outboard. Also what have you done to make it do well with the outboards on the bracket. It looks as yours is not a flotation bracket? How bad dose it squat and also do you think the a pair of 225 3.0 mercurys @400+ lbs each would do well or be to heavy?

She turns on a dime with a good roll, better grab hold somthing if you snatch the wheel! She sits in the water with the bow high but I had a light fuel load, soon as I get time and a few hundred Im gonna fill the 2 new tanks with a hundred two Gals of fuel and it should balance out well. Should be a few more weeks and ill have her back in the water with a full load. I wouldn't want to go with big 4 strokers without a floatation bracket, when I update in a few years Im thinking of adding a pair of 200 optis on a floatation bracket.
heres a pic of her before the new tanks with 4 27 series batteries and a 15 gal tank in the back compartment
