Depends on if they are the same size motor. A boat with two motors of the same size are normally set up that way for handling (primarily aid in steering at slower speeds), but it also provides a level of safety for offshore users should one engine stop running they can return on the other. You will also find a lot of fishing boats set up with two motors. One larger horsepower to get the boat from point "A" to point "B" quickly and a second motor of a low horsepower for trolling (moving the boat at a slow speed while fishing).

What size hp electric motor do you need for a 80 foot boat?

The weight of the boat, how it is used, and the water quality all affect how big of an electric outboard engine you need for an 80-foot boat. Larger boats typically need high-horsepower (HP) motors to ensure smooth operation; these motors are typically between 50 and 200 horsepower. Instead of being made for large boats like an 80-foot boat, compact electric outboards like the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus, ePropulsion Spirit 1.0, and Remigo electric outboard are made for smaller boats, dinghies, and tenders. You would probably need several high-output electric outboards (like a Torqeedo Deep Blue or something like that, or a more potent electric inboard system for a yacht this size. Depending on the weight and cruising requirements of the boat, custom-built electric motors of at least 50–100 kW (about 67–134 HP) are a good option if you're searching for an electric propulsion system for an 80-foot yacht or houseboat.
