In Response To: Re: Getting bigger all the time (Capt. Dave Kosh)

With outboards that big, no matter who you are or where you are, in 4-5 years you'll be told it might be better to replace rather than rebuild. Also, outboards seem to also be fashion statements and your "old" ones will look dated compared to the new designs. With three, I can understand the outer ones being counter-rotating, but what does the center one do? Put in a set of diesels and it'll be 10 years before you'll even think about them. Despite all the logical arguments, we'll see three engined boats at the marinas. It just used to be the dope runners in the Bahamas that had them. now it's just the dopes. Apologies if any of us have three-bangers.
