Just my 2 Then I would say it like this: Single over nothing - go single Twin - even better I have talked to lot's that pass on steering systems because they are scared to spend $4,000 bucks. Those I tell to at least go with a single. I still don't think it is fair to compare the conditions faced by a race boat to a pleasure boat though. |

I still don't think it is fair to compare the conditions faced by a race boat to a pleasure boat though.[/QUOTE] Depends on the driver and water conditions. Twin drives dont bother me as much as a single just because the opposing rotation pushes againest the tie bar!!! Single drive even at low HP #s loads the drive in only one direction and a hold hell of a lot after flying.. I set all standards by what we learn from racing!! Poker Runs have the first stops 10-30 miles running WOT. A good OSS race now days might have a 3-5 mile straight. Even the Bud Boat will only average 110-120 around a coarse..I have been in my fair share of flips and wreaks and I try not to put price over safety..Good discussion but a single bravo will kill you just fast with 500 hp than my 40 skater with 2600hp.Due the math 2600 hp running 4 rams / 650 per ram divided by 2 because the props turn in..All so if you run two if one blows out you still can finish the day.. :D |

OK, I have a single ram and hydraulic helm. Can I add another ram or do I have to start all over?
