[PUP] Top five passagemakers

[John Harris]

Reference ---  Hey, your post about the boats caused me to remember a very 
unique boat in Seattle.  Nordhavn built a few dual engine 46's.

I have a different view from Scott on these boats.  They have several short 
comings; 1) the dual props are not protected by an in line keel, 2) the boat 
is equipped with a large single rudder (as are the single engine model) 
therefore the prop wash does not act upon the rudder surface properly so 
they are hard to steer and hard to maneuver in close quarters, 3) the engine 
room is crowded when combined with 1,000 gallons of tankage, rather than the 
good access of the single.

There was also one of these dual engine Nordhavn's for sale about 5 years 
ago in the New Jersey area, I don't know if it eventually sold or not.
