Unfortunately it can be kind of common. Besides "engine problem" is pretty vague. Could be an issue with the actual engines, the rigging, fuel, etc. it's a fully custom build after all, you sort of have to expect some gremlins.

I think you are trying to correlate two unrelated things.

Probably because it devolved into bitching and baseless speculation...

Maybe, but most likely they can. It's easy math to do. Besides, if 2 outboards can move a 64' Viking several hundred miles down the east coast, 2 outboards can probably move The Dive several dozen miles without issue.
