I found this picture of Avid's new Bass Machine.  He wanted to race me but I respectfully declined.  

Hate to pay the gas bill on that rig :'( :'(

 Durn, and I always thought getting a 3-duce set-up running in sync was impossible...

Maintenance nightmare on a budget.......................

Who needs a trolling motor going that fast he wouldn't even need to put the line in the water he will just blow the fish out in the wake and have to swing back around and catch them in a net as they fall back down ;D

We think alike.  First thought that popped in my mind.

Randall finally got into building saltwater boats??,.... ;D (you can't see them but there are 2 more on the front but they are only 200's) ;D

There are much more efficient ways to go fast (inboards) or have alot of pulling power (Deisels).  Kinda retarded, what is the duty class of this boat?  What is it made for?

This boat lookslike it is for delivering outboards.

Must be going for quick acceleration, (emergency resque boat?) no other reason for so many motors. It's a funny looking rig, that's for sure.

I'm guessing it's stern heavy.  Don't want fuel up in the bow.  Look how it sits at rest.

Look closer, there are no radio antennas. I have another guess. I bet this boat is for mooring larger boats and bardges. I bet it never gets more than 200 yards from a dock. All those motors are to push a big ole boat/bardge into the dock and help tie it up. Ship mooring is a big business on the Mississippi river. They normally use tug boats, but I have seen a few big aluminum craft with big dual outboards. They usually only carry the big (4" diameter") ropes. It's a mooring boat, that's my guess.

We have mooring boats here that use dual outboards also.  Even those aren't fully neccessary.  

Tug operations would definately go deisel.  Even the rescue vessels that Seatow uses (zodiac style) have big deisels and they canmove.

Well since it's my boat, y'all should go right to the source.

It's my pimped chick magnet.

Only one of those motor covers actually has an engine in it.

but the girls are all so "ooooh" and "like wow man, can I go for a ride"?

How can I refuse  8-)

I did the math.  There's about $120,000 worth of motor on that boat and 2,000 hp.  That's $60 per horse in case anybody cared.  But I digress, big thumbs up to the guy who even had the stones to come up with a motor configuration like that.  It looks like there was a contest to see how many motors you could put on the back of a boat before it sinks.  How would you like to be the guy who has to give that thing a tune up.

LOL!!!  AVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   ;D

Actually,  this boat was taken in by DEA.  I have a buddy that works in Florida for a drug task unit, and this particular boat was used to haul drugs.  

I was looking for a trolling motor in the front but I see nothing... ;D

Not much stowage,.....then again, maybe it was smuggling steroids and some leaked,lol

I would think it would be a cavitation nightmare. Quite a bit of prop wash there,lol

Looks like it should have "wheelie bars" and parachutes to stop  ;D

Evidently it was a drug runners boat that was confiscated on the english channel.

Supposedly it is Extremely fast...and I would have no doubts about it.

It looks like something Yamaha would put together as a sales ploy. But then Merc would come out and say it only takes half those motors to go that fast if you were running our motors...
