They look to low to be surface piercing drives, I'd say they're simply propshafts with props below the waterline.
Have you got more pic's???

See ya,

They aren't drives. They are inboard prop shafts. Look at the bearing at the back of the hull. Also reg rudders. Surface drives turn. These don't. Just inboards like a big fishing boat has.

Trimax, BPM, and some arneson drives don't turn and they are considered surface drives. Either way my point was the boat has 7 props tied to at least 7 engines. So back to my original question does anyone know what race boat this was?

I took pic off a video I saw on YouTube, maybe oli can give us some insight I think it was a European boat.
