[@crazycanuck2578]

And this is exactly how some of the greatest inventions that we have today came about, just some guy like Marty in his garage using his Heart, his knowledge, his tools, money and the guts to go ahead and do it resulting in him building his dream, Nice work Marty. Never give up on anything that you dream of and really feel that you can do it, Much respect for what you even try to attempt in the future, keep up the good work, one day one of your ideas is going to make you very wealthy. Sure there are a lot of other triple engine boats out there but this one was your own build on a much smaller scale than the other big expensive boats out there and a lot of us regular guys who works 40 hrs a week and are not very wealthy we could afford something nice like this. Like you said, It should be called the poor man's triple engine dream, It's different and probably could be very affordable if you ever decided to really get into these small triple engine smaller boats. P.S. Electric star would be very nice or it could be an option? The end result was just fantastic, I loved it. You should really think about producing more of these boats??

[@kyleburlette2196]

It’s considered a poor mans boat because it’s a bass boat. And I don’t know about you but I own a 26ft skeeter with a mercury 300 I bought it used but the MSRP was 93k so yeah this is a poor mans bass boat.

Maybe I am 4 years late. But I liked the video and found it very entertaining. As an industrial electrician and supervisor, I was forever engineering things to suit the applications. I also was great at bending 4 inch electrical conduits in sets side by side, with all matching bends. Once in a museum I designed a 24' x 30 rack of Unistrut suspended by 3/8 all thread rod and nuts the hung below a 30 foot ceiling. A tract light system was mounted to it. spot lights were installed to shine on art exhibits. It looked marvelous I must say. But I am retired now and I spend my time wishing I was back at work creating things needed for the proper applications, and watching videos on You tube. I am glad I came across this one. I like that you are meticulous, a problem solver and perseverant. I did keep asking, Why doesn't he just go buy a boat that is already got everything on it. It would be less trouble. But I get it. You have to give the heart what it desires. I know. Loved your video.

What a phenomenal project. I am an avid fisherman, boater and frankly anything with a “motor man”. Working from the heart is a venture in itself, but satisfying more than many things in life. BTW I am a Silent Gen old dude. Harley Davidson born. As a boat racer, I found it amazing how many “norms” you defied in the name of building what you called impractical but fun. Be safe and enjoy your one of a kind machine. Further in the name of safety you might want to play around with props (lean on a the same old pro you did for steering) as well as trim angles of the motors to get that nose up a bit. Safe and I bet it would go faster. Just an observation. I found humbling myself has got me a very long way. God bless.

It's not often that you read thru a comments section where there is this much agreement and respect. As I read, i noticed everyone mentioned something that I was thinking or wanted to congratulate for so I wont repeat what's been said. Thank you for the inspiration. Install a working 15HP and a dummy 15 HP on either side of it just to keep it ridiculous. Now, I think I'll try to install a trolling motor on my trolling motor.

When I was a kid dad had a 12 foot aluminum boat with a 4 horse Evinrude and it went pretty fast with just him and I I thought. A friend of his had a 9.9 Evinrude that he had just hanging around in his garage with no boat. He only used it for his big boat on lakes that were less than 10 hp allowed. He let my dad borrow it one weekend and that 12 aluminum boat skipped across the lake unbelievably fast. I can only imagine how much faster yours would have gone with 3 of those! It was a fun fishing trip!
