If the 10% rule applies on this rig as it does on conventional outboard powered V-hulls, you are looking at around 200 g/hr at WOT (but because of the boat it's probably a tad less).

I ain't believeing this. Can you imagine the twisting torque on the transom bracket when they all light off. Gotta be awesome.

What will they do next.

Must be a law enforcement boat to chase drug peddlers.

Those two large tubes running down the port side must be fuel lines from a bow mounted tank. 8)

Whoops. Looks like I jumped the gun. Got carried away with the boat and didn't read the headlines.

That's what I was wondering QC. Maybe it has some sophisticated fly by wire controls for the throttles. Can you imagine having to sync and monitor 8 throttles?:%

Why are 4 mounted high, and 4 low? Long and short motors? Maybe only the center 4 are on at WOT?
