dual outboards on savage scamp?

I've got an old savage scamp, 10ft (tiny beast) :D it needs an outboard, it had a 20 on it but thats siezed - im wondering if i can get 2 cheap low hp outboards(8-15hp) off gumtree and run duals or is that stupidity? how do you find out the transoms rating?

 

cheers

would be a bit of a waste of time IMO. remember, 2 motors = double the service costs etc. would be better to just get another good quality 20hp motor. 2 motors would prob be too heavy as well, and would struggle to fit em on i would reckon.
