Do more props help ?

Now here a question that now body can answer so I though to being it the experts
A double pontoon craft, pontoons to 27 inch wide for a 30 feet boat.

A single (electricity) drive would people it (x) MPH [say 5 MPH]
A double (electricity) drive would people it (x) MPH
A tipple (electricity) drive would people it (x) MPH
A quadruple (electricity) drive would people it (x) MPH

All drive is the same.

I am not look for a speed as a factor.
I am looking in for the power in more props in the water rather increase the HP of the engine.

knowing electric motors you would have to have a smaller pitch on the props than with one if you do not increase the hp
this true for model boats and full size i believe
unless you are talking about adding more motors and props then


NEVERMIND
