    I saw the pics of this the other day too. Are those (2) twin cylinder motors or are there (4) motors?

    I like how they have the E-trex GPS strapped in the boat. That would lead me to believe that it definitely works.

    Hi Shaun

    It's works great. Engines put out 9 to 10 HP at 16.000 to 19.000 RPMs
    I don't have two sets of twins in my boat, but I have one set in mine.
    Engines are Zenoah 260 X 2 stock with tuned pipes.
    My boat is new with 7 runs at 20 to 30 minutes per run.
    I have GPS in my boat and have clocked it at 61 MPH so far.It's has more to go!
    Engines are not broke in yet and I was only using a 70 mm prop.
    The hull I'm running with this engine setup needs 80mm prop to get into the high 60 MPH range.
    My hull is 65" long with a 16" beam weight is around 30 pounds.
    I ran this boat in 6 to 10 inch waves and she ran like the water was flat .
