Triples vs twins, The triple boat is a wave crusher, rides on rails at top speeds and can dock really easy in cross wind because of the third motor. Down side, they dig a big hole and take a while to get on plane, tabs are a must to start but I pulled them all the way up after that. The boat doesn't want to be at certain speeds around 45-50 mph the boat porpoises and needs the drives tucked and some more tab. The boat really prefers three blade props other wise you get to much lift. There is no resale value on the triples that why I pulled the center motor and drive and converted to twins.

Jeff you want to know anything else just ask.
