    I have an EDELCAT33 circa 1995. It has a 15 HP on a center pod.

    The boat is a lot of fun, BUT is horrible at manouvering in any kind of wind, meaning the turning ratio is horrible. Since this boat has hung barn rudders and skeg keels it does not help in the turning.

    I am wondering if I should get two 9.9hp attached on a sled. Does anybody has a design I can copy?

    Or can anybody give me advice on how to make this boat more manouverable?

    I dont know how to load an image but the transom is a big Aluminum ovoid bar.
