At over 3 bucks a gallon with oil I think my credit card would actually explode.

Re: Four 250hp Mariners

I need more hole shot. How difficult would it be to add a 5th motor to that rig?

Re: Four 250hp Mariners

Reminds me of the rigs we used to see off of the coast of Miami back in the 80's when they were transporting the "Kilo Bricks". Built for speed with covered storage....I guess that one didn't quite outrun the CoastGuard <br /><br />Nav

Re: Four 250hp Mariners

I'm thinking of upgrading from my 14ft with a 40hp on it. Do you think this rig can pull a slalam skier out of the water OK ? What about its suitability for tubing ? One more thing, will I be able to get it to idle slow enough for trolling ?

They do run fast, A U S Customs patrol came by on Tuesday doing about 65 MPH, 4 Merc 250 EFI's. Looked like a 32 footer, must need that big of a hull to support the fuel tanks.

Re: Four 250hp Mariners
