Use a different decal set for the other motor that implies a different HP rating. You will blow people's minds that you are not doing circles while under power LOL!

Looking good.

btw..Watch the 90 degree fittings on the front of the Seastar rams don't hit the top of your setback bracket when trimming up the motors......been there done that. Snaps them right off.

Ordered 2 bobs machine 6" fixed setbacks. Should be here by tuesday... Should eliminate thAt problem.... Im more worried about not trimming both motors at identical times and snapping or ruining the tiebar lol.

To overcome that issue I used to have 3 trim buttons. I had both motors spliced to 1 button that trimmed both motors at the same time and then the individual trim buttons could fine tune the trim position for each individual engine.

That..is AWESOME. One thing I always love about boats from that era is the quality of hardware they used. They truely don't build shit like that anymore.
