Poor Man's Triple Motor 12 Foot Center Console Bass Boat

I call this boat the Intruder12X3. It's crazy. It's stupid. It's ridiculous. It's just plain fun. This boat is not meant to be practical. Or super fast. Although it jumps on plain very quickly! For me, it is a proof of concept. That I could put three motors on the back of a small boat. I would've put four 2.6 outboards on it, but those little motors don't have reverse. And part of the allure of this build is how I can make this boat spin on a dime by putting one outside motor in forward and the other side motor in reverse. It acts just like my 31ft Chris Craft :^D
I laughed a lot while outfitting this boat. Groaned a lot during the lengthy filming and editing of this video. Spent a ton of money pursuing this asinine en devour. Yet, I would do it again for the laughs! I hope you enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed making it all happen.
Something tells me this won't be the last time I do something stupid like this. Thanks for the views and for encouraging me to live life to the fullest!
-Marty Zoffinger
Many thanks also to Pelican for all they have done for me over the years.
And to King Starboard for both making a great product and for believing in me.
And to Todd for providing me with tons of Starboard scraps and screws and tools and for putting up with my hijinks.
Not least, thanks to you to my Patrons, both to my kayak rental business and to those that contribute via Patreon. You really help me live this dream everyday.

[@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??

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.

To hell with practicality. He ain't kidding the throttle linkage deserves it's own video. I took notes. Seriously the primary subject of this project is THROTTLE LINKAGE. The boat is incidental.

Nothing short of amazing! So cool, great videography and the 'splashes' of humor, excellent! I have a wooden skiff in which I can implement a number of the ideas you shared. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this project together. I'm blown away! Take care. Nick
