staggered engines
What are all the reasons to stagger engines?
To center the weight To get the props closer to the center of the boat and thus to allow more of the boat to be out of the water Are these true? Any others? |

Do any use universal joints?

also lowers the center of gravity.
bonus reason . . . easier to work on :D something to note, it is not as effective on boats shorter than about 35 feet. |

how about a short stagger. I keep thinking of a twin sbc 28-30ft, possible short stagger. But would the benefits be there? Trade off for a smaller cockpit? |

so when is someone going to try out that new v-16 in a 30+ ft boat instead of staggering?
