Years ago I drove a neighbor’s twin setup. Once you get a good feel for the boat’s handling, you can do creative things on corners by giving more throttle to the motor on the side opposite to the direction you are turning. I hope to have a dual OMC controls on a boat sometime next year and try 10’s, 15’s and 35’s that I have.

Keep in mind you will have a lot of weight at the rear and, on an aluminum boat, that will also affect handling – but it’s just another thing to get used to.
