If I fits, I sits.
 
How much efficiency do you lose by having so many (5 or 6) props so close together? I'd think that you'd get some drag from all of the vortices forming right next to each other, at least in the center.

So I'm going to get into some guessing. Prop tip clearance on inboard and semi-planing hulls is around 10 to 15% of the diameter of the prop. So if that holds true for planing hulls then a 18" prop needs a minimum of ~20" on center. Most outboards I know have a minimum of 25-26" on center for mounting them.

A lot of the drag on a boat comes from the running gear, not just the prop. A lot of the fast inboard boats are either made with prop pockets to tuck all of that up tighter or even out of the water. Or run surface piercing drives so that only half of the prop is in the water at any time.

"Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone" John 8:7

Is that not a poor analogy for a father of five (Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, Summer Zervos, Jessica Drake, Temple Taggart McDowell, Bridget Sullivan, Tasha Dixon, Samantha Holvey, Ninni Laaksonen, Jennifer Murphy, Cassandra Searles, Jessica Leeds, Rachel Crooks, Natasha Stoynoff, Cathy Heller, Mindy McGillivray, Kristin Anderson, Jill Harth)

"Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless." John 1:26

Why are you? Shouldn't you be on "Truth Social," where you will be readily welcomed.

“I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.” Romans 16:17-18

”Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Ephesians 4:29

END OF COMMS, NOT MOTIVATING.
