I have twin Suzuki DF140's on my Sceptre and they do very well.....but unless you absolutely need the redundancy of twins, I would stick to a single 250 or maybe a 300. Better fuel economy, less maintainance costs, less of everything. If you must have twins, then the Suzuki's are nice and the weight is not that bad.

I just went from twins to single. With less weight, the scuppers in the engine well are now above water. The big thing is the through the deck scuppers dont need to be plugged at all. I used to have to plug them all the time and paint the deck and drain channels with bottom paint. No more!
