I'm looking at one with 2 motors .I assume to go to a single I would have to look for 30" motor.Is this correct?Thanks
No. The notch is to allow a single 25" motor to reach below the keelson. The higher portions to either side allow for twin 25" motors without having them extend too far below the planing surface.
