Coming back into Roche Harbor today we were quickly passed by what looked to be a red hull twin outboard R23! As we entered the harbor it was on its way back out. My binoculars made it look like a twin outboard engine R23. We're my eyes playing tricks on me? Does such a beast exist? It really moved fast!
 
They do come with a 200 HP Yamaha and an optional 9.9 HP Yamaha kicker.

Cheers,

Bruce, thanks for the reply. That may have been what I saw.
Does anyone who owned an outboard R23 run both engines at the same time?
Has anyone replaced their 10 hp kicker engine with a bigger engine and run both engines together??
 
Well both can be lowered together so I would assume it's possible to run both at same time, but I sure wouldn't do it at speed.
 
You will over rev your kicker if you run them together at speed. I would love to see an option of twin outboards on the C24 and R23. Of course that would likely mean the loss of the kicker for fishing, but what great reliable and maneuverable cruisers they would be!
 
buy the C30 with twin 300's 😀 :shock: :idea:
