That would be an awesome setup...
...but this boat has TRS drives and it would be a lot cheaper to add 50 hp than buy a pair of Arnesons.

Are you speaking from experience, by the way?

jimmys triple outboard is one sweet ride, but sutphen30 will walk away from him if he ever finds out how to program his fuel injection so the boat will turn up above 4900!!!!!!

As of now I'll put my money on Jimmy!!

If Billy actually runs his boat hard and over 4900 he's got the 30 to beat!!

Nah. The most my old one ever had was 530hp per side and ran low 90's. The new owner is working on dropping 750 per side in and still has the arnesons. If this ever gets finished we might see the faster OP ever. We will see.

I still want to see someone make 1200 HP turbocharged in a sutphen.

That 26 RR with the single 454 could be such a bad azz ride witha couple of hair dryers. If I didnt have my boat Id be ALL OVER IT!

The rule of thumb is around 650 hp max on TRS drives, right? Arnesons sure would be awesome. I guess the point is that the hull can handle as much power as you can throw at it.
