id drive to indiana just to ride in it!!
 

Ha Ha ,, I'm a crazy one my 1st ( scream and fly boat ) was a 1968 G.W. Invader 13.5 - 14ft and the boats dry weight was 250 -300 lbs and I rebuild the ransom at the age of 21 and put a 1978 inline 6 merc on it and put a 14 gal. aluminum fuel cell in the nose as a ballast weight and when I hit full throttle I was riding on the lower only ( whole boat was out of the water ) I was clocked back then on a radar gun at 68mph and the bottom carb had quit working, so if I would have had the extra 2 cylinders gettin fuel would have been a faster run ~evil grin ~ ... So with that said ..... where do I find a transom plate like the cool one pictured so I can build another Crazy boat that can fly ;)
 
This twin OB 25' Convincor is for sale on ebay right now. It looks to be a nice boat at a descent price. Not sure if those engines are 2.4s or not.

I will set up a Trimate, or my TRV-17 with Twin motors just for giggles now. ;)
I didn't have time yet for a final run with my Trimate this year to much rain and not enough green for go-go juice..

What is the shortest boat anyone has seen with twins on it ??
I saw a pic of a 15 ft GW Invader with twin Scott Atwater 40 hp's on it it was a early 60's tunnel hull

There are all kinds of those small Power Cats with twins. They look pretty cool.
