Default Design help and insight.....

I am gonna jump into the hobby feet first. I have had my AirForce for about a month. Just built my first baot a couple weeks ago. I figured I would try to build a dual engine boat. Plan on using 2-OS .25's. swinging 7" props. Now onto the questions.....can you have both props turning the same way and still be stable? Would you go with two seperate engine pylons or one big one? How can you blance out teh rear biased weight? Is there any other major factors I need to look into? How will the linkage work? Can you run 2 servos off one channel? What is the maximum distnace a fuel tank can be from teh carb? I may try to use this to balance out the weight. I know this is very basic questions. As I get more into it....I KNOW I will have more. That being said. Here is what I have drawn up so far.....Will it work?
