In that case he's doing us a favour by removing said morons from the gene pool...
Anyone who copies what they see on TV (despite the warnings not to) without the huge amount of support and research that is undoubtedly carried out before Bear sets foot any where near the waterfall etc. IS a moron.

Would the outer engines not have longer legs then ?

Lived in Gibraltar for the last few years - was sure their 10.5 M-Rib had the triple layout, remember reading the details somewhere. They got new ribs about 6 months ago - looked good.

no, think about it for a mo. It's not so far to the running surface either side of the centre line! Unless your fitting 3 motors on a catamaran, then you go shorter on the middle motor.

A 23 laser has a similar effective pitch to a 21 rev 4, the load on each motor could be quite similar. Not sure what the benefits of using both is though

Here's the link to the Gibraltar Police RIB overview
ROYAL GIBRALTAR POLICE
"The engines are rigged to a racing layout with the two out motors having XL legs and handed 21” Revolution 4 props; the centre motor has a 23” three-bladed Laser. This rig set-up was advised by Lee, a former South African powerboat racer who works at Barrus and who used this set-up to good effect. It certainly works on the Madera."

I suspect it's less to do with Lee's amazing ability as a rigger, and more to do with the fact that Barrus had no stock, as usual!

As regards the penguins and polar bears, I blame Gary Larson...

Just a footnote:
Bear advertised his old Madera on here - 10.5m twin 300hp. He reckoned it did 40knots "flat out". Must be heavy!

Apparently the only boat that was up to the job....
I guess the Ribquest did not quite hit the spot then 
40 knots out of that hull with 600HP sounds about right its a beast !

Interesting boats, rigid structures! It seems that Bear Grylls is everywhere!
But I think that apart from military use, only a real adventurer would by one of that boats! Would be perfect for that use though!
