      I wish I could find the picture of the boat with five motors and drives in it. They had to stagger them so they would fit in the width of the hull. I dont thnk you would be able to turn it.

        Be sure to post some pics and vids.

          I meant that a boat with 4 or 5 motors would be hard to turn.

          It would be like trying to turn a race car with a locked positrac rear end.

                  yeah i guess. over on rum runners one is being powered with a lehner 3080 at 3.7 hp. ours will have 4.9


                  that brings my next question. do you think a 56" could be reliably powered by 5 hp? we like the looks of that hull much better
