Interesting to say the least. The fuel burn of the (4) gas burning O/Bs vs. the (2) Cummins diesels will tell the story.... No doubt access to maintain is easier. Wonder how it effected the boat's CG?

BTW great idea......plenty of those 48's are getting to be 8-10 years old and will have tired power (gas 525's or the diesels) so you basically built yourself a Cig Huntress for about 1/5 the cost!

2 550 Cummins wide open 60 GPH
I don't understand why everybody says outboards are easier to maintain, diesels don't break down. They both require the same maintenance but the diesel intervals are longer.

In my opinion, if you want trouble free boating, go OB whenever possible.
