Whalerdrive 22's maximum horsepower rating varied between 300 and 400, depending upon the year.
I think twin 115's would be good on a notched transom 22, but a Whalerdrive boat should have more power. I have a friend who has twin DF140's on his WD 22, and he says the power is (edit) good. His best WOT so far is 46mph, and he has a T-top.
I would also look at 135 HO E-Tecs as a good replacement for what you have now.
I didn't realize the WD version had a higher hp limit. Man, 400 HP on a boat that size??? My Outrage 19 has a 150 HP limit, so 267% more HP on a boat that is only about 25% heavier seems nuts. The WD must induce a lot of drag.
