30 with triples
 

has anyone put triple 300xs' on a new 30"?

I have spoken to Peter about it but he does not recommend or like the idea. Says middle motor takes a beating. I have thought about building one many times.. Don't think has.

really, there are plenty of 28's with trips i wonder what the difference is.... I like the 30's but i think they only do 102mph tops and thats not going to cut it for me.

Please look at this picture and inform us how a third engine is installed

it needs two seven marine motors now your talking i know the weight is big but ballast it some how

Two of those heavy hunk of **** engines cost 150 k and the boat in pic could be bought with 300 xs for 150 k .

Seven marine wont be around in two yrs @ 70 k per engine

As you guys know Peter at Skater can build anything if you have the $$$. I am sure he can reconstruct the transom. The Flat deck started out the same way. Look how popular that is now. Those decks are built from scratch. No mold.

Your right if you have the money anyone will make it happen for sure but what jackass would want this ? Also nobody builds a hull or deck without a mold , maybe he pops a deck and tweaks it not to build a complete hull or deck ?

explain what would be stupid about putting a 3rd motor on a 30.... my 24 came from skater with triples, i heard he built two of them. there are plenty 28's with triples. i think with very little transom work the 30 would be great with 3. 30's and 32's for that matter, are just to dam slow with twins

i'd definately reccommend triples:coolcowboy:
