Default Twin f200 yammies

Thinking about a repower after the twin 150's die. I'm tossing around the idea of twin inline fourstrokes. I see where the new motors weigh roughly 100lbs more each than my oceanrunners. 385lbs is the dry weight that's assumed for the old motors. My boat is a 23 Sceptre with a bracket. I did just install a new 160 gallon fuel tank. A 165 quart cooler fits in the forward box allowing me to distribute weight forward. The boat now takes water on in the scuppers with 2 people in the stern. With the cooler full of ice and beverages is not near as bad. I wonder how the boat would roll and does anyone have twin fourstrokes on their older hull now? I guess I could plug the scuppers but I do like the self bailing I have now. Also, I'm not interested in a single motor. 50 miles to the fishing grounds is common. Or is there another bracket made for the heavier weight?
