My boat has twin 454's and generator. Where can I purchase an outdrive for the generator? Just thoiught that a 3rd prop in the water might push a little faster. lol

If you want more speed, this will slow you down. Use the generator to power an electric trolling motor at low speed to save hours on engines.

If you're not kidding, you can remove the alternators and use generator to charge batteries. Also others. reply if interested

No, I have a better idea. Leave the generator as it is, and let it run the
A/C and fridge. What you need to do for additional speed is modify the hull. Take it out of the water, and cut the center out of the bottom of the boat. Remove the V in the bottom, and use wood and fiberglass to construct a tunnel all the way down the center. Now, when you are done, you will have a Tunnell hull. It will be more effecient and faster. If you need help with this project, DONT call me cause I am not interested in helping.

Maybe I could just ad pontoon's to port and starboard sides. This would then create a tunnel without and cutting.
