 dual 36hp pd on a 1854
Thinking about making an offer on a 18' x 54" custom boat powered by twin 36hp Pro Drives with a single tiller handle for steering. Worried about it being difficult to handle. Anyone have experience with a similar rig?

Damon Silva ran twin PD's on tiller and said it was easier to drive than the single engine.

 Re: dual 36hp pd on a 1854
If it's the boat that is down here in Orange, that is my old boat. Very easy to handle and will get you anywhere. Will haul a load with ease. I ran 5 MEN with over 100 dekes and gear and a dog and still ran 25+mph for 6 or 7 miles. I don't think you will disappointed with what it will do. Any questions just drop me a P.M.

Yeah Damon I think that's it. Is that a Fowler boat? I think I'm buying it from your friend you sold it to. Did you like that boat/motor package?
