Wider is better... If motors are too close to sides you will get dirty water....

They'll rob water from each other... Won't run very well.

One motor would push that boat good. Might want to go bigger.

PD does pretty good on a 54... GT has to have a 60 from what I understand

Dirty water meaning turbulent water from the corners....

Is there a way to do them counter rotation?

That wouldn't do it, the drive shaft would have to spin the other direction. Like through a gear box or something.

With outboards one motor would be in forward and the other in reverse same gear reduction with counter rotation props.
Cant really do that with any of the MM's available..... cept maybe a sport v-h motor seein as they have outboard L/U's...... :shock:

A gtr has a bigger gear reduction in reverse, so that wouldn't work

Have the flywheel broached, change the timing, custom cam, some head work a little starter modification and run the left motor backwards...
