My thoughts: Why a 42' boat with outboards? The only times I wish my 23' inboard were anything but an inboard are when I'm putting it on the trailer and when I'm trying to get somewhere shallow. I doubt that a 42' express will be in either of those situations anytime soon...clogs up the transom and moves weight that could be centered and down low to a high and extreme aft position.
Feel free to tell me why my opinion is silly (perhaps 3 outboards somehow comes out to be more efficient than two diesels, which would certainly motivate me).
Good looking boat otherwise. I've ridden on an IPS boat, but didn't troll and honestly didn't pay much attention to the wake. The whole docking a forty-something foot boat in a forty something foot parallel slip was enough to keep my attention...
