Twin I/O's with counter rotating props also handle nicely. I was able to
pivot a full 180 in tight channels with no effort.


So will a twin outboard ... very similar ... but I'll betcha if we had a
"pivoting" drag race, a twin inboard would turn faster with less throttle.
The props are typically spaced further apart and they are closer to the
pivot point, unlike an I/O or outboard where they are hung far back on the
stern.
