I saw this on another forum:

Really Mom...it followed me home....can I keep it?
 
Bob is determined to get to Nantucket and back...doesnt mater how he looks...
 
Finally, Ernie the Engine Salesman decides it's time to see which brand performs better and faster.
 
Since neither engine looks like it has ever hit the water, I would say that the boat is being used to transport one of the two, probably the Yammy, to another location.
 
The truth is that it is a demo boat.

When BRP launched the Etec, they rigged several boats with one Etec and one Yami 4S. They went around to various boat shows dealer demos etc to prove the tourque and planing ability of the etec. They would plane the boat by running just the etec. They would then run just the Yami to demonstrate that the boat would not plane on the 4s alone.
 
ITK, are you being serious? Because, that's kinda sounds plausible.
 
That would be a somewhat biased demo if the Evinrude was the only one of the 2 long enough for the prop to get a proper bite, no? Perhaps the pic is misleading though.
 
That's what I thought. The Evinrude looks to be sitting right on the centerline of the boat while the Yammy if offset and appears to have a shorter leg.

I saw the demo happen, but do not recall if the Etec was centered on the hull or not. Can not recall the shaft lengthes either. I was not really that interested in the time, just recall it taking place.

In the video it shows the engines evenly placed on the cutout. But no telling whether the Yamaha's prop was optimized and the leg lengths do seem to look different in Bob' pic, though part of that effect may be from slightly different tilt. I have no preference as I expect they are both great motors, but would be curious to see the results of a Yamaha-produced challenge marketing video.

I think that must be Ole Torakusu's boat.
