I read in powerboat magazine once: "it's not how fast you go; it's how well you go fast"

Another vote for the twin o/b's. I've owned the same boat both ways (26 Daytona-- one 2001 single, one 2005 with o/b's). 2001 with warmed up Merc 575---89.9. 2005 twin 300x's---112.6. Solid reliability and performance.
The o/b boat will run 36-37 with one engine offline Sterndrive boat........ and you're paddling |

So after reading all the posts, the age old debate between single or twins comes down to what I always suspected.
90% of the time, those that can afford to run twins will prefer twins. And 90% of the time, those who can't afford to run twins will sing the virtues of a single. Everyone will run what they can afford (hopefully) |
I'm sure outboards are great but that's not want I want, love the sound of bbc,s and the ilmors.

Why is a 32' cat not designed for twin big blocks

i checked the site and it's a narrow 30' 6" cat w/140 gal capacity. outboard cats are larger these days. there's not even close enough lift to make it perform with all that weight!

It is you are alright. Those old Shadow and Chris-Cats, not too mention all those 32' Skaters did well with big blocks, and small blocks too. Build what you want, dial it in, enjoy it.
