Adding a second motor to Prime
I have an original VPI Prime, and I'm not unhappy with anything, just thinking out loud, seeing how many high-end designs are out there with multiple motors: has anyone ever tried or even considered adding a second outboard motor? Easily done, you just need a longer belt for the additional one. The expected benefits are: Greater torque; Stress to the bearing balanced out if the motors are placed on opposite sides; Potentially a smoother drive if any cogging effect is distributed more evenly. (The latter effect may only be perfect if there's a motor control that makes sure the two are working in the right phase respective to each other.)
