I may be going with a single 300 Verado to get the maximum mpg. In that case the 34 eill only do about 40~40 mph tops.
When I put trips maybe I can chase that record.

MRD POWERED 30 PROTOTYPE
I found fountains record here on the board somewhere. It gave important details like MPH and MPG. Fuel used and so on. The 34 is a big boat for a single. Something happens and your stuck with a single. Outrun a storm with a single good luck.

I found the article, it's doable in a SuperBoat. Probably when I'm done cruising around and the title is not too far off reach...I might.

Found out that the external Verado steering plates are being done by Marine Machine in FL. They custom fabricate the plates/tie-bars and are sold throughout the US. Something that Mercury Marine does not have yet[for the Verado Line].

They work closely with Deep Impact boats.

The final setup for the 34 will be triple Verado 350 [I hope the transom holds together].

I will be mesin' around with a single just to see how the boat runs and the kind of mileage it gets.
