The advantage and disantvantage of mounting engines close
Hi!
What is the advantage and disantvantage of mounting two engines close to eachother (fx. 20 inches centerline to centerline vs 23 inches centerline to centerline)?
I have a Phantom 25 (2800 lbs) with 2 x Merc 2.5 SS engines). The beam is narrow, only 5,5 feet, so mounting has to be close. Top speed should be in the upper 90-ties / low 100's.

One advantage is lower center of gravity. also, I don't think you'll blowout a prop on turns as easy. One disavantage is the effects of steering with one engine foreward and the other in reverse, is diminished.
