Just repowered my Outrage 22 with new Mercury 3.0L Four Stroke 150HP engine. Removing twin 115 Mercury two-strokes.
The performance is outstanding. 40+ MPH top end and 5 mpg cruise at 26-28mph 3800 RPM, 2.1 km/l if I did the math correctly.

Welcome Antonio! A single motor is cheaper to buy and will reduce your fuel usage too, and new motors are very reliable so that also reduces the need to run twins.
