yes I could and I think it was 18 inches.
I had a armstrong box on mine and I really liked it other than the fact that it would get a little watwer in it sometimes so I drained it every time out.

I second what George Yurick said. Also you wont have very good range for trips with 3 and a small gas tank. When I picked up my boat in 91 there was a 26 RR with triple 2.4s in the yard at Ocean Outoard. Tony told me it was a real handful but ran about 100. I think 2 300x will be about 90 with proper rigging and dial in. Also I'm just running 2 batteries for the 3 engines, saves a little weight.
Pictures of what Jeff was talking about.
