IIRC that boat weighs 14,000lbs+ as it sits. Not only that, it has a very wide center pod which drastically reduces air pack. Makes for a very slow boat. And I sure as hell wouldn't put a B1 behind an 850hp motor, much less in a heavy boat like that one.

I would like to know how they got the CG right with three motors right on the transom. The fuel tanks must be in the forward sponsons.
