Could it have been one 454 with
dual blowers?

Probably dual turbos, one on each side. Even a pair of 350s would be
next to impossible in that size, a very tight fit even on a 24 footer.



Speaking of twin-engined 24 footers, my dad was the dealer for this line
for the few years it was in production:

Twin Caddy Crusaders, 600 horsepower, with a written guarantee the boat
would do a minimum of 60 mph. The tailfins were...huge. I don't recall
the displacement of the two V8's, but I do remember that they were side
by side in the hull and they barely fit.
