Triple Drives ?
Can anyone tell me the benefit to put a third drive into a 42'boat with the same engine it is now equiped ? so you get a triple drive.
What will happen with speed ? Performance ? etc.

Re: Triple Drives ?
what power and drives do you have now? speeds? big trips are pretty awesome, but haint the easiest to keep running
and in all fairness its not THREE times anything unless u plan on putting a single in a 42

I have read that "true offshore" boats use triple engines and drives and are propped to go on plane using only 2 motors so if you were running to bermuda or something and 1 broke down you could come back without idling for 18 hours,Smitty

3 drives look kewl!
My buddy has a triple engine 42 Fountain. Some guy was looking at the 3 blower motors and asked "So, how many outdrives does this have?"
Here's your sign.

old school offshore boat- (heavyhull+bigpower=speed+noreliability )
Speed > reliability
