A 30ft boat needs twins, period. No free lunches with a single engine. The money you spend on a high hp single will catch up fast to what it will cost to run twin stock power.......

depends on what you want. and have money for. Alot of people dont feel the need to go beyond 55-60mph
No offensive. |
[QUOTE=Smarty;3574676]If that is case then this website is not for that person who wants to top out at 60mph. Hell, I want my 15' Boston Whaler to run 60 mph.
should be easy....:evilb: |

Well I am not rich, no longer have a hot chick or any chick for that matter (divorced), and I don't know it all that is for sure, but do ask alot of questions. And the only thing holding my 15' Boston Whaler back from running 60 mph is money to buy the larger outboard to make it go 60 mph.
Defectors....there is a place for everybody....sorry if you were offended, wasn't my intention. But seriously if you want to 60 mph in a performance catamaran, as is the topic of this thread, does that seem a little odd? happy holidays Back to the topic of the thread, if you can afford twin 525's that would be nice, but the twin outboard combination is a combination in that size cat is hard to beat as all of the prior posts suggest. |
for a 30 cat twins no question, unless you don't care about rough water and want a lake boat. 30 Skater with some LS motors perfect!

I couldn't agree more! A nice 30-32 foot Cat with 300XS motors and you would have a 100MPH boat that kicks azz all day long. Plus, you can run it at 100MPH all day with decent fuel consumption [far better than any other engine]. If your cruising you will get about 2.1 to 2.4 MPG.
I agree twin outboards are a bullet proof combination coupled with a 2 year warranty on the motors....with an optional additional 2 year extended plan. You then have 4 years of warrantied motors and you can drive it like you stole it:). Well you take a 30-32ft Outboard powered boat and you will spank those small blocks like a White House intern. Plus, those high reving small blocks drink the fuel and never last like a BBC.:evilb: KAP P.S. Always makes me laugh when we smoke a big twin engine boat with our little 28ft Howard Sportdeck:drink:. |
i have a baja sport 250, 27' with platform. i built it on a tight budget, paid cash for the boat and every last part on it, i buy allot of used parts and used parts tend to be sold as a single part. i would LOVE to go to twins but when you want to upgrade carb, intake and/or exhaust you are buying double. if i could stop myself from moding the motors i would go to twins and leave them stock, i cant do that :( lol. so on my budget a single is better. also i can haul my boat with a half ton pickup, i use a heck of allot less gas in both the truck and boat and when something breaks i am buying 1 instead of 2. so i think money plays a big part in me sticking to my single.
