Am I the only one who thinks 6 outboards on one transom looks stupid?

On a Center Console it doesn’t look to bad. I can’t get over the Formula cruisers with the outboards. I get you make more room on the boat. But it just looks odd.

It's a vicious circle...You need the extra motors to push a boat with that much fuel on boardParabellum FJ²B

If 6 is better than 4, than 8 is better than 6.
Outboards are the gold chains of today.

Triple I/O's were popular for a while. Now, not so much.

Come to find out, it's all about fools and their money. The more outboards they throw at a boat, the less efficient each one is and the more frictional issues occur. The more outboards, the less speed per horsepower. Apparently commercial vessels have singles for a reason.

02-08-2019 09:17 AMMorning!!
Interesting article. Pretty much true, and Peter Hledin can talk about how almost every smaller boat he built performed with singles, twins, and trips. But, the biggest reason for more outboards, getting those big boats on plane and actually being about to accelerate. It's like a pickup with a 4 banger versus a pickup with a big V8. Some of those boats are really boring, and can barely get on plane with 2 or 3 engines. Some probably can't.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

Got a chance to do something different. Phone lines freaking out. Just a big guess all the rain might have something to do with it. I called in the neighbor! He is the local ATT service man. Time for pay back for all those boat rides we gave him.

Thinking about selling my boat and getting something that can hold a respectable number of eggbeaters. Thinking pontoon, with a row of 6 in the back, and maybe 4 in the front.
