    Anyone ever thought about a twin tunnel?

    Has this ever been done? or what about 3, two stingers and an outboard?

    Maybe not a twin tunnel, but I have thought about twin outboards (something like REK lowers with brushless power - not the AQ pro fisherman outboards) on a bigger deep vee or something.

    The first thing to do though, would be to find a square drive flex cable with a reverse rotation so I could run the motors in counter-rotation.

    Again, this is just a dream right now considering budget restraints.

          I've never seen it modeled but have a look at the Switzer wings, Old but never bettered offshore racing boats.

              Kris Flynn, of Australia, has done it... I think he had a thread on International Waters on it... Not sure how well it turned out.

                Something like this would be cool with a pair of Stiletto OB's.
                Out of curiosity how big a hull do you think you would need for a pair of spec powered ob's?
                LOL if money was no object I'd scale up my MC and do a scratch build big enough. 400$ for a pair of motors rtr alone puts it out of reach for now.

                If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
