Was the picture of it running (near the top of the article) taken earlier? The photo later in the article appears to show the motors having been moved in towards the center of the tunnel... Wonder how that will affect longevity of the lowers?

Good eye, I imagine this move also allowed them to raise the engine height also...

Good eye. Yes, that running shot was taken in September 2015 by Pete Boden.

my guess is that when they first rigged the boat they used the outside mounting holes from the triple engine installation. which would have moved the motors wider than a normal twin engine install.
I am sure they moved them in closer more in line what the centers are for twins.
It would be nice to know what the centers are?
Someone get over there and measure the tie bar LOL.........
