Twin (multiple) O/B Vee thread, let's see them.......
 

I sterted a thread for my friend Pauls new Howard and thought since we're kind of a rare bird why not start a thread dedicated to our rides (and previous ones)? Would be a great way to see some of the history some of you own. Some of you have killer rides that I dream of owning.
I grew up always lusting for one and they still hold a certain mystique for me. Big boats w/big motors are way cool but just not the same for me.(thank God cause I sure can't afford one!)
One of the major factors w/the O/B's for me is how cheap and easy they are to work on. Get tired of current power? Stop by a dumpster, make a deposit, screw two more on and back on the water in a couple hrs :thankyouthankyou:
I know on this board currently, we have C.Mates, P.Plays, Velocity's, Midnight Express, Avanti's among others.
Lets see em guys.

Here's mine. 1985 24' Sonic w/twin 250 JohnRudes.

Under ressurection and soon to hit the water; 1984 Checkmate 2800SX "Ashland Special" AME 4000 resin, twin Merc 2.4L 200's (for now), 24" Gil brackets at 18" centers, single piston Offshore clamps, 25" one piece mids with high performance 1-piece adapters and solid mounts, Bob's lowers.....

I've been waiting for this post for a while...I'm one of the few multi-outboard V fanatics too....Although I can apperciate the roar of big blocks - IMO, you can beat the scream of to twin outboards screaming - sort of a rebel yell.

Grew up on a lake that had a 28' checkmate with twin 2.4 merc's called Black Majic II.....thought it was the sickest boat and could always identify its unique sound when it came around. Since then I was hooked and have not looked back. Below is my first OB.

I encourage this post to include any multi-OB V pic's that members have. It would be great to have a extensive library

Here's the current ride - been searching for this boat for 10 years. What are you guys seeing for speeds?

It is 91 mph with the 250s

It is a big boat that runs like a little boat, all fun

42' Outerlimits, originally had 600's from the factory, one blew up, replaced with 800's, one blew up, then my friend bought it and put the 350's on it. No shops around here that can properly rebuild high performance engines, so outboards are very popular. I'll always love the sound of a pair of V8's but I must admit at 6000rpm the superchargers also sound pretty sweet.

He recently ditched the bracket and put them on Detwiler jack plates directly on the transom and made a platform/pocket so they still trim up all the way. Next mod will be pushing the rear bulkhead back for extra room in the cockpit.

Meanwhile on my boat, the 22 year old guzzler had a defective ECU, had to ship her back to the manufacturer. Still waiting on a refund! lol
