Has anybody ever attempted to mount twins on a 13'? I've thought about doing this but don't know if its feasable. Any input is appreciated.

Sure! throttle setup is gonna be a bitch though.

Why not just get you a bracket and mount three 10 h.p.'s on the back o'that puppy? Should all fit back there and make 1-1/2 times as much sense as the twins:-!

I had twin 9.9s on a small wooden skiff. Throttle was kind of hard but when I finished it was well worth it. Turns lots of heads and is pretty basic just takes some time.

Nausetboy,
How did you rig the throttle? I just can't picture how it would be done.

Hooter, you're bad. Biggest chuckle yet on this board. Mebbe too many ice cubes tonight but I can't think about the triples w/o breaking up.

Hell, why not 10 4's. Actually I have 2 4.5 OMC's in my barn that I plan on rigging one day on something, still trying to figure out the throttle.

Well on one side of the engine, there are pop out holes where I can hook up a throttle, I bought a kit that they have at a dealership for hooking up throttles on small motors. I just bought two kits and hooked the cables up to a 704 throttle and the steering is easy.
