That's going to be one sick puppy!
I like the back seats & looks like the sun pad is shorter then mine. Did you move the back seat further back?
Now all you need is the third motor
Are you running transom pick-ups or only lwp?
I found that mine needed the transom pick-ups to run on plane. Once on plan, I had great pressure.
Middle motor gets the most & does not require transom pick-ups. (believe it or not).
Should be good on gas with those xs motors.
I would love to get 3 on mine, just dont want to play with set up again & cost. ha,ha
I can't wait to see her in the water.
You have done a great job

I found that it would suck air until the boat goes on plane.
It had bottom pick-up, which I removed & put only 2 transom pick-ups.(worked much better + less drag)
Set back:
Mine are atleast 12" set back, & I think its more like 18".
Going to measure once I get home & let you know.
Need atleast 12" for when you trim the motors, high as possible.
Motor Height:
Raising the motors higher, I would lose water pressure.
Now, Im about even with the prop shaft & 5" higher in the middle.
Start low & move them up as you go.
Water pressure was the biggest issue!!!
I would start at even with prop shaft & work up.
I cooked 2 motors at the same time, as water pressure was only 8psi. (yes, 2 locked up, 15 seconds apart at 6400 rpms,)
Also got to watch prop slip as you go on plane.
Cant wait to hear, you got her in the water.
If you don't like the seats, I'll take them
