staggered engines
What are all the reasons to stagger engines?
To center the weight
To get the props closer to the center of the boat and thus to allow more of the boat to be out of the water
Are these true? Any others?

also lowers the center of gravity.
bonus reason . . . easier to work on
something to note, it is not as effective on boats shorter than about 35 feet.
