    Setup question, twin or not?

    Hi, my catamaran hull is reinforced and ready : glass fiber for the front joint hull, epoxy in the points and between the 2 points ,I used carbon layer for the bottom and sides of the hull , and back table is reinforced with epoxy. I also doubled the part which receives the rudder.
    I' ve got a 540XL/11 motor and sets of 2x3S Lipo batteries but I' m very interested by a twin setup. What do you think? Building this boat with a twin setup or with a single motor and building later an other hull like Mystic C5000M with 2 motors? Thanks

        from what i have seen they do run well on a single, i have had a couple of these into the 60 mph area,but looking at the twin setups the hull is a lot more stable the rudder is in clean water and doest have the issue of the prop thrust pushing on the rudder.
        imo this hull runs a lot better with twins
