I just thought that the staggered twins would lower the center of gravity and bring it closer to the centerline than triples (I have 3 X 525s), giving the 47 a little more of the ride of a 42. Anyone ride in both?

I would have to go for the 1075 boat....less BS with just 2 motors and even faster since its less weight.
And , Yes the CG is better too.

But after thinking about the 2 combos....the 3x700 boat would cost less and the motors will provide a longer service duration between rebuilds..

How long on 1075's before a refresh? You might get more boating hours out of triple 700's.
If money was no object and I had a mechanic on call all the time to re-fresh I's go with the twin 1075's.

I think you'll find over the long run. Triple 700's will be more ecconomical than the twin 1075's. They won't need freshening up as often and they'll probably be better on gas. Also if you lose one engine it would be easier to drive it home on two rather than one. As far as initial cost I don't think the difference in price wil be all that great.
Oh and if money was no object I go with trip. 1075's myself.

Its mid-August and we only have about 85 hours on the '05 we got last year. That means we're putting on less than 50 hours a season, so maybe the "refresh" interval isn't that important. I'm going to have to try the staggered 1075 setup, its gotta be the best riding. Triple 1075s is WAY over the top!
