The sweet sound of a triple rig!

We found ourselves with 3 x 3.3hp outboards, so what else do you but stick them on the back of a 3.20m rib. I hope these results bring a slight smile to the corner of your mouths:

Lists location as Padstow.Looks like Padstow in the vid as well. Wasn't there some kind of incident there not long ago? (note extreme sarcasm)
Sometimes I really despair at quite how bloody stupid people can be.

Simple equation:-

No Kill cords + 3 engines = 3 times the damage to you or anyone in the water if things go wrong.

Not having a go but it really ain't that smart

Putting the safety thing to one side that made me laugh.

I was mildly tempted but this never left the garage

Pigeon,Good on you, just bear in mind what's cool and what's dangerous given the potential for mishap.
Very Heath Robinson and applauded...... if you'd done it in your bath.
I just wish nothing bad could ever happen because this contraption is great!!!!
This is what innovation is all about.
Just remember, don't endanger others that's all. Looks like you didn't.
In my mind, the more engines in the back of a boat the better.

I was watching an episode of 'Hungry Sailors' (filmed in Padstow last summer) recently. I'm sure that I spotted the Milligan Cobra on a mooring.
