outboard twins on a rocket??
Has anyone ever put twins on a rocket?? Is it even possible? Cause of the width issue?
|
depends on the outboard, width varies between the different makes,
considering they can out 3 or 4 outboards on most center consoles Im thinking it wouldnt be a big deal on a 24x7 to have twins,besides cost of course |
It would more then likely be two 225 promaxes, or 2 older carbed 245 horse motors..I wonder how it would run?
|
They would fit with the proper bracket, but may be "Fun" to setup due to that much wight hanging 2 feet off the back of a narrow boat. My 24 with a single 250 with 24" setback is fun enuff. Here is a vid in flat water in Biscayne Bay

There were a few 24 Superboats w/twin OB's. The general consensus is that it is not a good idea.
Both Superboats that I know of had twin 200's. A single 300x gave the same if not better speeds. |
isnt the rocket the same exact hull as the 24 pantera?? Jo at panterra had a 24 pantera with twin 225 promax run in the 90s....
