RE: twin power setup?
That looks alot like Topfuel's setup . I would just love to see and hear that boat run... must sound awesome. Apparently they do run it in the 7.5 class , but I don't know if it is a 7.5 hull.
Me likes it too

That is a 3.5 boat and it runs in the sport 7.5 class but the engines are getting mounted to a 7.5 hull it will still run in that class though here is a link:

RE: twin power setup?
Hey guys, sorry I missed this one...
Yeah, the twins sound unbelievable. There are about 6 of them out there right now with the OS's on the back. I built the engines for a few of them and they have them mounted on 7.5 hulls. I think a normal 7.5 hull is too big of a boat for the twin OS set-up. It needs a large 3.5 hull like the Nemesis, or a HTB 290. A Shaman would also be another good hull to run twins with. They are a lot of fun and a headache all in the same. The sound makes up for it all though!
Any questions, let me know.

RE: twin power setup?
You can come over my house and see the twin in person.... I live in Europe also. I live near Kaiserslautern Germany.
In all seriousness, there are a bunch of races spreadout all over Europe. I was at a race in Sweden a few weeks ago, and before that in Stuttgart. Of course there is always the world champs in Italy next year, I will be attending that as well.

Thats what I was thinking Piper. I know he had some video of the shaman twin. I will send him an email to see if he still has that stuff. He is out of boats now 
He has been playing a lot of chess lately...
