In recent years there have been more and more bad ass outboard engines coming out, including GM LS Based stuff that makes stupid power, but what we’ve been most impressed by are the number of boats being outfitted with three and four engines. It used to be that two made you a bad ass, but now that’s just for the cruiser folks. If you want to go fast with an outboard equipped center console type of boat then you are going with at least three engines, and as many as five or six! Of course those are on boats that measure 40-55 feet in length, but still. So what is a guy to do that is wanting something similar but actually lives on a budget?
Welcome to the poor mans triple outboard setup. This is going to be fun, we’re sure of it.
Oh, you know how we know that? Because this boat that this guy is putting three engines on is ONLY 12 FEET LONG!!! LOL
But he isn’t doing this without skill or forethought, because he’s serious and really makes some nice stuff even if the fabrication is simple. You’ve got to watch this.
Yeah, this is probably not smart, but it sure will be fun. Wear your life jacket kiddos!
Snore….built a 13′ Bullet from a bare hull and deck and put an Evenrude 48 Special on it. It would do 60 mph with a clean bottom. My back doesn’t miss it at all !! 🙂
I looked up a local supplier of Starboard. That stuff is cool, but seriously expensive. I’m thinking Colorado is not the best place to buy it.
