IMO if it doesn't have twins, its not an offshore boat.
Twin big blocks don't weigh that much more than twin small blocks. If it can't handle the extra weight of twins, then its an inferior hull design. Phuckin A, even the 29 baja's had the option for twins. Fountain has option for 29 with twins, and now a 33. Cigs mystique has twins. These big single engine boats are harder on motors, kill outdrives, and are a dog out of the hole.

Thefact that Baja, Fountain & Cig offer twins in their 28-30 foot offerings is great, they are optional. But the reason behind it is they need that power to achieve the speeds that can be reached with a single engine boat when combined with an efficient hull design.
If you want one with twin big blocks, come on down and bring a check. Anything can be built. The purpose of this thread and poll is to determine what a good starting point would be for a BASE boat.
But your opinion is a valid one, and your feedback is appreciated. However, that will be kept in mind for Optional Power.

So... lets see the boat, and the options list of what you get for the money.
Time to show more than an artists rendering - weve been looking at that pict a while now. It obviously missed the Miami show.
There are lots of really strong players in this space.

I had a single engine Donzi Z-25 that used to smoke my buddy's twin engine Baja 28 in almost every category. It was a better boat in all regards other than top speed, and handled the rough stuff better. It definetely was an offshore boat.

I want what your smoking..... must be some really good ****!
So I guess you would say the 27/30 activator isnt an offshore boat? But a 32 fountain with twins is?
The 29 kryptonite is also not an offshore powerboat too than? But a twin 292 forumla is?
A 270 Laveycraft also not an offshore powerboat I assume too, right?
