Wow again, I'd like to see a flatbottom set up for this and bring back the BFF class.
Has already revolutionized the world of Dragboat racing and now will be available to hot lake boats. WOW! The single screw is dinosaur technology! I agree with you Sangerboy, bring on the Blown Fuel Flats . . . sh*t all the flats for that matter. . . they could use this! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/cool.gif
Tiwn props is nothing new. It was done back in the 60's. If webshots will work check out this twin prop flat from 1968. Oh, I got this lil bit of info from 72superlight a long time ago.

Hey now, I'm under 40! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
Not by much though.
I downloaded those articles. Very interesting. Not only does Faulkerson discuss the merits of the twin screw set up but he really explores v-drive placement, shaft angle and push point. He also explains the boats center of gravity vs. it's balance point, effects of rudder drag and angle, etc. A while back there was a thread on motor placement, shaft angle and prop location. There's great info on all of these topics. It's recommended reading...
