New suzuki 350 duoprop

Ok....who is going first!

Doesn't look like there is a single prop option currently.

Another option for those wanting big power perhaps.

Harks back to the days of the V-max trp, what's the big deal apart from costly repairs when it all goes wrong.

I'd guess with ever smaller boats fitting ever larger engines (think RIBs and Bass boats) the thinking may be that this format tames the prop torque and possibly gives more grip? That said, I know a man who is giving serious consideration to sticking a pair of these bad puppies on a 10m RIB.
The downside is that lack of propwalk means a single will have to be berthed with a bit more "attitude"

I'm not sure why the raised eyebrows? - this stuff has been standard in outdrives for ages.

What fool would stick twin 350's on a 10m......................

There's a 10m just been commissioned on the south coast and should be on the water this summer, going to be running a pair of the new 400hp Merc Verado's - that'll be a ride and a half!
