I do Transport Design at University and for one of my modules I am designing a Peugeot Wakeboarding Boat. Can anyone help me understand more about the boats (boat dimensions, engine types, new prices etc.)

Thanks, thats great

Can these boats have two engines or would that mess up the wake left by the boat?

I believe there is a boat that has two engines by mastercraft the X-80 or something.

yeah - they can have 2 engines as hyperlitewakeboarding, said. Correct me if I am wrong though, I believe that this all comes into one prop, so it would not affect the wake.

Otherwise I am pretty sure it would be too wide, and/or mess up the wake.

I am pretty sure the X-80 is standard with one engine and can have the option to have two engines. With two engines I believe you get two props though. I've seen them do that spin they can do sitting still and I am pretty sure you wouldn't be able to do that without two props. I'm still trying to find a picture of one on a trailer....
