Default "Selph-Inflicted" 3 Pt. Twin

Here is a project that my good friend NITRO is working on. It has twin OS32SX. Each motor puts out 1.2 hp. The video below has them running a 9-7 prop.

NITRO hopes to get to put it in the water this weekend. Will keep you guys posted on the progress.

Here is another test video. Nitro will take this boat to the water this weekend if weather permits.

Nitro took it to the pond today for its first outing.

It was not documented for a speed record, but he did hit 50 mph with it.

Mike took the twins back out and made a record attempt. He did break the existing top speed record, but did not get it documented properly. He will be making another attempt this coming Saturday.
