That last one was only a twin but I had five engines for it. Does that count? Actually now that I think of it I still have three of those five engines... That would make me a triple owner wouldn't it?

I would go triple on any of those two boats, less drag on the bravos also,looks like this is going to become a nut slinging thread I got this you got that. what happened to the days where everyone could get along . same thing at our lake guys go out and buys a huge boat thinking there the ****, guys like us wish we had the money to play, ive got a big step 42 fountain and I will park rite next to a 16ft runabout any day of the year, I don't care what they drive as long as they don't think theyre beyond everyone

Never had them but its obivously triple the annual maint, and I am sure insurance and resale will be tougher on you. Another thing is you hit something your talking three props, three drives that could get torn off. I went from single to twin, and I always find it PITA to have to do two oil changes, change two on this, and that. Just my thoughts.
