I may have to get Dave Lott, Kens, and Mr Hot Rod to help with getting the proper prop set-up so it's balanced!!LOL

Hey don't get me involved in this. I am not even in the same bldg with Kens and HotRod nor desire to.
There is a saying that it is not necessary to know everything - only know where to find it when you need to know.

Now regarding your inspiration - I can only say. mmmm. Well, ... hmmm. Dang it, I really don't know what to say but at least you don't go by the addage of different strokes for different folks since you kept it all in the family

One of the problems Oyster pointed out was the non-counter rotating props!!!

Well, then turn the engine around so the prop goes in the other direction. My goodness, that was an easy fix.

Remember reading about a fella in Britain that was making same such boats. As I recall he was eventually stopped because there was never any doubt that they were being built for drug runners.

You did say that you wanted the boat to haul tail. But you didn't have to go to that extreme. The fix is not compicated my friend. All you need to do is just move your self foward.

I have seen that work with twins, but have no idea about triples.
The fishermen in Puerto Rico run twin 40's with tillers as a standard workboat.
I guess if twins work good, then triples must be better.

Awrite bein seriousq about twins now

I saw on NatGeo an outboard in the 20-30' range with twins but they were mounted way out on the edges of the transome.
I wondered about the steering when I saw that. Do any of you know if there's a reason for that mounting that might have to do with solving a Propulsion/steering problem?
I never saw it before.
