Always like the boat with the canopies. Would be a cool twin small block boat.

Good question, what kind of speed with the single 525. Must be a magic carpet with twins....

I would think the twin SBC would lose the balance of a single......like a Pantera 28 (most prefer a single). I think "simple single" is the way to go in this size boat.

The bottom was designed around a twin staggered setup. with a single 525 it might run 75 + we balanced the boat around the twin staggered.
