I'll even spot you some ... I'll only use one engine and only up to 3/4
throttle.

I just hope you don't have a LT.


I was actually curious if I could tow the boat backwards, but not
while it was in gear - I'm not that stupid. :)

I'm pretty sure I could get it moving bow on on a tow, but backwards
would be interesting to see if I had the power to move that
barge...er...good looking floating condo.

Side bar: Do you have one rudder or two on the Navigator?

Ah, Rats! I thought I had a live one there for a minute.

The Navigator has two rudders. (Last time I checked)

This may sound like a really stupid question, but I honestly don't
know the answer.

Is it easier to manuever a boat with twin engines with two rudders?
What would be the difference if it had one rudder? Or if you have a
single engine and two rudders?
