Hi John

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my queriery.

I've tried with the center motor only and the boat is a lot more stable but very slow. I've also tried with both outbard motors and at speed the boat leans, but I think this is mainly due to the fact that both props turn the same direction. I'm going to try reversing one prop so that they oppose each other when they turn. Hopfully this will level the boat out and not throw it to one side.

I've got two opposing props but they are bigger, maybe 60% bigger. Do you think this will affect the boat handling and speed? I'll have to take out the center prop though.

I've water tested the boat several times now and it handles really well and is a nice boat in the water. I've now finished it, bar propulsion and once it's painted i'll post some pics of it. Sorry to hear that you can not build your one! Is there anyone that could build it for you?

Cheers for the help Simon
