the two outside engines appear to be mounted higher on the transom than the inboard ones - is there a reason?

Boat is 13m and 3,2m wide and has a weight of arond 3,5 tons (dont have the exact weight)
Does that weight include fuel, our 9m is 3 tonne dry. When first launched we had 52knots with 1300 litres of fuel onboard

WHY???

I can't see how 4 props that close together aren't going to interfere with each other.

I can understand the logic of the outer ones being higher to follow the shape of the V.

I take it you have just bought this beast then
No its not my beast, we went for a 10,5m with 3 Suz.

Without fuel but if you fill 1500 liters of fuel you will maybe loose one knot when you have 4 engines so it doesnt effect the speed very much.

Its a lot of trim before you get them perfect but the 2 middle engines are like a usual twin setup with UL rigg, and when you use the shorter rigg on the side they pic up water higher up to the surface wich means no interfear from the lower engines, the UL shafts are very deep down are always very wet, you have a lot of power wich means that you dont have to steer much before the boat goes were you want.
If you install a twin (or more) setup perfect and very close to each other you will have more performance than if the engines are far away from each other.

Acceleration
That looks really un-stable on the video - maybe pulling away quickly but it's all over the place!

Did the handling settle down?

Boat is amazingly stable, i filmed a lot but only had 14 sek of mpg, when i filmed this the driver tested how little he had to turn the wheel for the boat to turn.
Will come up with more shots when they are finished.

Sorry folks for my sons nonsense post - hes only 8 and its his first forum - ive just taught him how to use the preview button and the quote button so hopefully will make more sense in future.

Luke - here are a couple more pics of the Fantasma 13 meter.





I need a couple of pay rises before i can afford one though - perhaps getting him into boats is not such a good idea!!!
