running duel motors

[hootyhooo]

Has anyone tried running duel 5 or 10hp motors? Is this feasable?

This guy did it with an 18 and a 15.

Someone on this forum mentioned running twin 6hp motors on one of his boats, guess it worked ok for him.

Unless I just happened to have the motors (preferably matching) on hand I wouldn't bother with it over a single for lots of reasons (weight, drag etc)

Yep, that's a cool vid on Utube but it doesn't show how he's got those 'Rudes joined at the tiller...looks like they were moving tho.
I like this vid showing three old 'Rude knuckle-buster triplets.

Due for a splash run before the summer's out...plan to have a 57 Johnson 35 hp in place of the little 18 hp...next to the 57 Big Twin 35. Hope to take a vid cam with me.
