I heard that it causes the boat to lean over to one side on such a small hull

Why don't you put the pair of surface drives on a full staggered smallblock set-up! If it works, I'd like to take a ride and copy what you've done! What a rush that would be!

Closest thing I've seen is a 26 sunsation ??? In swap shop with surface drive.
Can prob still find it with a little search. It was listed within the past 6 months

Its been done ! I'm doing it on my 24 and there has been 18 and 22 Donzi's with them . They are all over the place !
If I hadn't already bought mine I would be all over this boat http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/boa/3278151884.html . Pick that baby up and you have everything you need to complete the setup . And look at the boat , their using static tabs .. If your using one off a pair , use the left hand so it counter acts the torque of the motor .

Hell NO ! Rock on ! All you'll need is a trolling motor you can put on and take off easily so you can get the boat up to the dock because with a single Kaama you can hang up any lateral movement .

Your other option is to go to a rodeo school and learn how to lasso really good .
