Rick- you started to answer my question on the other thread here... If you built a hull with the twin stringers could you still run a single BB? You would just have a hull that was built beefy in the transom/rear area right?

Another thing just popped into my mind, what would all this extra weight do to the ride/handling? Would you need to worry about the CG moving to far forward/back? Will Cohen ever step into the 21st century and get online? Is global warming really a problem and should Superboat be building a 65' for the day we all are underwater?

I would think that a twin engine hull would have a stringer down the middle and the outer stringers farther apart.
To my knowledge, single engine Superboats have 4 stringers to the stern vs. just 2; at least my 24' Super has 4 vs. my 24' Pantera had 2...

Rob,
When we do a stringer setup for a twin smallblock we put one tall stringer right down the center of the hull, and two outer stringers. No way to put a single BB in with a center stringer.
As for the CG, the Y2K rides beautiful with twin smallblocks. Heres a picture of the last Y2K running with twin 6.2, 320HP Mercury smallblocks.

What would happen if you staggered them?

FX10

You would loose cockpit room and the back seat.

That would be race only.

FX10

What do you mean by " Race only" ??

Pure Energy

I think he means fast only

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but how fast is the twin 6.2 boat? Just curious.

Thanks,
