268 Islander twin power.

[Cadeco]

Hi Guys. I would like to know from owners of Islanders if any of you have twin 150s/175s, and if so, how your boat performs. The maximum HP for the Islander is 400hp ( 2x 200hp w/ twins), but I would like if someone has twin 150s or even twins 175's give me some information on those HPs.
Thanks.
PS: I have a single F250 and feel it's underpowered, so thinking of getting twins, that's the reason for the question.

You didn't get your answer the last time? If I re-power it will be with 200 hp 4-cylinder engines. I don't need the HP but it can't hurt.

The obvious question is What do you hope to accomplish?".

Two weeks ago i went to the water w/ 7 people (total) and something did happen: My Islander has a F250 Yamaha ( of course 4 stroke) and With throttle down, around 5000/5200 RPMs I could not pass over 14/15 MPH., I called the mechanic and explain the issue, He told me that it should be a problem w/ the Hub on the propeller. I removed it and took to a propeller place to change the hub, today i got a call they told me that after putting pressure the HUB ( I guess this is how is called that rubber thing inside the propeller) It did not move and their opinion is that the hub is ok! What do you...
