    dual motor setup

    Glad you asked, because I have the same thought for a Starflight. I was thinking about what it would take to mount two 2.4’s. My concerns are the controls, steering, weight on the transom and most of all stability at high speed. I would like to hear from anyone that tried it and was it worth...
