Was told a 210 was "crap" for a ski show, as compa

Good point J2NH, you may have seen this boat, it was a Mastercraft Pro Star that had a custom transmission, 2 shafts coming out the back which subsequently made the boat a twin screw inboard. He did a demonstration one year at the Nationals in Loves Park, pulled a large number of small kids up deepwater. I have also seen a team using 2 Nautiques running in tandem to pull up thier big act, the lead boat released and sped ahead after the act was up.

To confirm what has been said, big acts need some form of a twin rig. I believe is is all about the number of props in the water. For a year, we had two 150 motors on our twin rig, and it would still outpull my 310 hp GT-40 in my Ski. Havre you seen the Evinrude infomercial on late night tv? They do a segment on a triple engine Dynaski pulling four 4 tier pyramids. Thats 48 people. The twin screw MC is an idea, but it will either need two engines, with a big weight penalty, or a complicated, power losing transmission setup, that probably is not very light.

Very true! The extra "bite" that twin outboards offer is definately an advantage. No doubt about it.

But I disagree that horsepower isn't important. Your not gonna pull off a pyramid with a pair of 50 hp engines. It takes raw power and torque to get the job done in combination with being able to put that power to the water.

I can't wait to try your little trick with the lifting rings..........that has potential. Thanks
