what works for one doen not work for another....you raise the center of gravity on a sixteen and your going to get all kinds of chine walking....that boat is hard enough to drive with the volvo in its current location.. the boat will also over heat,,you can get away with it on your magnum because for one itas a bigger boat and for two with a twin the water pick up is in a different loccation unless you added lwp's..

Yeah but you missed the point altogether!!! Once again 3 TIMES LOL.Has nothing to do with you questions in your previous posts.or quick fix. I think my Son is correct.You must know more than a lot of us.But!! in another thread you are asking if you can put two outboards on a 18 Mantra Start building boats. Seems like you have all the knowledge.Most of the answers.LOLI would start the first boat as a18 footer with twin mercs and fins on the bottom.LOL JOHN SR

john i didn't ,miss your point the first, second, or third time!, i didn't rig my friends sweet 16...neither did he, his workers did, he has a 65 and 35ft sport fish in cartagena. both of those boats are in immaculate condition. he evidently wasnt one to halfazz things. somethings are hit or miss. i could be the village idiot and take one look at those ridiculous fins and know that is someones schlep engineering bs
i thought i would throw the manta twins question out there, there are a few small boats like it on scream and fly rigged with twins... but then again, everything i own is over powered. lol like the 48 anglia im building with a 900hp blower motor...

i have looked a over 9,000 boats for sale over the last month or so, ebay, boat trader, craigs list, ect, yet this is the ONLY boat sporting a pair of these high tech fins! i digress, you and the donzi owner are right, every other boat owner is clueless on how PROPERLY set a boat up to ride out straight, my bad for ever questioning his incredible engineering skills...please accept my humble apology..im out...rm

Like I said before if it fixed the problem I would.1987 Chris Craft stingers were very unstable at higher speed so to make them safer they added 175 LBS of sand in the bow and glassed it in.They didn't re-engineer the bottom they did a quick fixe and it worked.Fountain guys found out in some 32 fevers150LB of sand in bow makes them run better they didn't sell the boat they found out how to correct it and went boating quick fix.But I guess you haven't figured out anything because you have looked at 9000 boats.LOL I don't have time to widow shop I get my problem solved and go boating.Give me a break.Or maybe you should give up on boats and become a Realtor in Maryland because you also seem to know the best place to live.LOL JOHN SR

Speed Rails (Smart Rails & Fast Rails)...who knew???
"Speed Rail is another product invented by us(Ocke Mannerfelt who invented the BatBoat also invented speed rails). It is a 3 foot long aluminium profil that fits the running strakes of the boat (of any boat actually).
Whereas normal spray rails deflects water horizontally away from the boat, creating friction and drag, the Speed Rail deflects water downward to further enchance lift, speed and fuel economy.
It also helps stability in both tracking and turning. The device is used on many European offshore raceboats.
Speed Rail have won two awards, in Sweden the "Golden Wheel" and in USA "Best accessories" at IMTEC, Chicago boatshow.
Speed Rail is patented. "
