If the boat is rated for that hp and there is room it would probably be a cool set up but::A twin set up obviously adds double the weight,double the gas use and double the maintenance.And your performance will still be pretty close to that of a single 150 or so setup. Maybe not as good a hole shot due to the heavy stern.I say sell your 85s and put the money toward a nice big etec.
