I think we would call this a paradigm shift 😉
Cool thing to think about for me is, think of all the old offshore boats w/dead IOs in them, waiting to be rescued.
Many w/the drives and motors already gone.
Ive posted before that I always looked at 30’, for a vee, as the max for twin OBs.
And I won’t do triples.
Now with 800 - 1000 hp available w/twins…, 35’s would be rockets and 40’s would be doable.
A slick, new chapter in offshore power boating.
Almost a step between the classic, full zoot IO powered boats and the new OB powered center consoles that everyone loves due to their versatility.
Learn to accept the look of the clip ons in exchange for affordable, reliable performance w/tons of new storage space!
