Depending on what you start with it may not take a ton of cash. I'll have a good idea if it's worth it when mine is done. It's getting transom put in now. I'm going from triple 540 blower motors on IMCO boxes to twin staggered 540's with Whipples.

A twin staggered is a great ride but with strong 540’s and bravo style drives I would make plans for a lot of drives.
I like you guys threads on the changes and for sure some great work…..
tnt1’s boat is just phenomenal… I am sure Eddie’s will be also, can’t wait to see some updates……..

It's been a while since I read through it, but there is a thread in the Outerlimits section where a guy took a triple 37' OL to twin side-by-sides. It might provide some useful insight. I think the name of the thread was "37 remake", you should be able to do a search and find it. I'm pretty sure that after taking out the center engine, he moved the two rear motors forward to help with C of G.

Good thread on the 99 42. I am actually going through some of this right now.... similar situation. I have a 2000 47 Lightning... took the 500efi's out... and am planning on putting new 525efis back into it. I have one new 525efi ready for install and the other two are getting rebuild right now... will take another few months to complete that conversion. The problem is... I have a set of brand new 600sci motors sitting in my garage right now.... Should I just fill the center hole and install the (2) 600sci motors with Bmax drives? How would this effect resale?? Will I get kicked n the balls for not staggering the motors? Or should I just install the 525's with XR's and be done with it? I have already received an estimate for rebuilding the stringers for staggered... and I am looking at 10k minimum for the new stringers / transom so need to consider that as well... What do you guys think??

hey Team psi what ever happened with your flat deck project?.. How come you never finished the boat. i always thought it would be interesting putting the surface drives on that boat with them angled in the distance of a staggered boat.
