Is this done just because you can't get the total HP that they want with 2 or 3 engines. Correct me if I'm wrong but as you divide the total HP among additional engines the total package becomes less and less efficient, both economy and speed wise right (ie twin 300s would be much better than quadruple 150s)

Tsunami you are correct I can’t remember how much additional power it will generate but not that much. I think their approach is more like if one or two motors go down they still can do their think on the water that day.
But for me if two outboards can’t do it than it’s time for inboard turbo dieses.

Are they still rigged with seperate shifters and throttles the way a twin setup is?

Ha Tsunami I really couldn’t answer that one. But the CC control panel would probably look like a 747 cock pit.

Actually set up like the throttles on a 747 would look pretty cool.

I was picturing 4 throttles similar to the giant plastic mostrosity that I have for my single Merc 225. Four of them would take up an area about 2 feet wide on the console. You'd need pretty big hands.

Um, isn't one of the big selling points of the Verado supposed to be that you can control multiple motors from one throttle.

Also, I seriously doubt those are 150's. If you can afford a 39' center console (why you would want one I don't know...) you can afford some 275's.
