They are dime a dozen here in Florida, almost standard equipment for
serious open boat fishing. *There are quite a few triples running
around also, and even a few quads. *One of the local quads is run by
US Customs and Border Patrol - our tax payer dollars at work. * :-)

You've got three times the chance of something going wrong with those
hi-tech things.....
Let alone keeping things syncronized and equally trimmed.
