Twin vs.Triple
How many people are turned off when shopping for a boat that has three motors vs. two motors? Does it kill the resale?
I was wondering because I see quite a few linger on the market that appear to be nice boats. Is it the overall maintenance or the excessive weight or??? Just curious.

Don't ask me, I like trip TMP750's and Arnesons ASD6's, I get sh!t all the time 
To me you get up on plane better, their is less stress on the drives cause of the hp issue, less maint. on the motors cause not as high strung....Am I missing anything, tell me O B ONEKNOBIE.

Re: Twin vs.Triple
I heard with triples, if your boat jumps out of the water it is likely your two outer drives will be out first, and the center drive may not leave the water. What this does is place unequal stress on the center drive as compared to the outer drives. I would imagine either the center or outer drives would wear out first if you constantly fether the throttles equally.
