Re: staggered engines
Too Old,
Clamps inside of WickedWons are holding all the Cables.
Throttles, tabs, tranny's drive indicators etc.
There not really a pinch clamp, actually machined to fit
the number of cables running through them.
More like a C-channel with a top cap or side cap in this case.
Then held on with two cap screws, simple nice and clean
set-up. And made of aluminum I believe.

On the saddle tank front we were able to reduce the roll effect by keeping the tanks low and contoured to the hull bottom for the most capacity, they're under the diamond plate below and hold 75 gal each.

Re: staggered engines
I am by no means a knowlegeable person about staggered, clearly since I am the one that started this thread with the question. But my understanding from the guys at Sunsation is the difference is in just how close the engines are aligned with the centerline. By that, a full staggered setup has your engine more closely aligned in the middle of the boat, and a partial staggered has less overlap in the alignment, therefore the engines are a greater offset from the centerline. My understanding is in the full staggered setup you can get the drives even closer to the center of the boat than you can with partial staggered.
I appreciate any input from those that know more about this than me.

Re: staggered engines
Mentalpause-- You are correct with your description. I believe the key reason to go to a short stagger is to get more weight forward in order to help 'fly level'.
Chris-- it was said in the 'cafe vs. TG ride difference' thread that there would not be enough room once the trannies were in place to go to a partial/full stagger. I do not know myself as I have not measured it.
