I like the pods too, but I'm curious about the placement of the engines. I would like to see the difference in rigging between one with on one without

Maritime, how do you like your 24? does it have a porpoise issue above 50 mph, or is that just the twin engine? are all the rumors about how the boat handles just a rumor?

thank you again for you time

Sorry for the delay, mine would not be a good one to use as benchmark for your project. Mine has a very heavy outboard on it and the handling would not be the same as it would be with 2-strokes. My friends Aronow with twin 300 promax's seems to run very well. He does say it needs to be running over 80mph to pack air and not porpoise.

Yes, I developed and built two prototypes. Search YouTube for "Diesel Outboard" and you can see some video's of the engine running. One of the prototypes is on the back of my 24 Aronow.
