Thanks for the info.. I did some other investigation last night.. my buddy told my that with two motors.. you have right and left rotation .. when you add the third motor.. it throws that off..

The most noticeable difference would be in the acceleration, cruising speed would probably be higher also. However, the center motor takes a beating in rough water due to not having a sponson in front of it.

mines a 98 hull 2003 300x's spinning 15x32 3 blades to only 62-6300rpms and she runs 105...110-112 wouldnt be a problem if i kick the motors up a bit or go to a smaller pitch wheel to get the r's up.
