Just your average, everyday Zelos 48 QUAD

I have twin mercurys on my real boat but the motors are 1950's vintage and there is only 6 prop pitches to choose from and I just cant get anything steep enough to take advantage of the power I have ....same problem

these guys can make you any pitch you want.

There have been quads on here before. Bigger boats mind you. I don’t recall what or where on here, outboards seem to come to mind.
The idea of multiple motors is they help each other push more prop. Therefore you can increase diameter or pitch to more than you would get with a single. And of course a holeshot!
It would be a matter of tuning to find the right set of props for quads.

Hopefully all the motors are very close in Kv/torque

Who cares how well it performs. Sometimes you've got to acknowledge creativity mixed with talent, boredom, money, determination, and spare parts

You can still acknowledge creativity while providing critical feedback.

Personally I'm more of a function over form and would rather put 2 big motors on there than 2 short Dynamites and make it fly (or just about). If he genuinely tried to make it fast, well...learn from your [expensive] mistakes.
