I do not think 60 Hp mercs will have the prop size to handle that boat as it should be. I of course am not a big fan of outboards on a houseboat for that reason. You could get two 140 merc engines with outdrives in used boats for a lot less $$$ and you would handle much better. you could completly rebuild them and still save $$$. they would not burn as much fuel as the outboard.
