Twin electric outboards

Hi,

I've been toying with the idea of building an electric boat, was looking at using an electric outboard with 54lbs thrust. I was worried that it would not be powerful enough - if I put two 54lb thrust electric outboards on the back, would that be the same as 1 engine with 108lbs of thrust?

 

there's a fellow doing testing with twin electrics on the electric boat forum. check him out. he says changing props has made a big difference.
