Will I need a keel to maintain direction if putting an outboard on a 2-surfboards catamaran?

I’m building a planing boat by bolting two surboards onto the underside of a piece of marine plywood so that they form a catamaran.
The whole thing will be powered by an outboard motor of 5HP.
Will this start sliding slideways and doing uncontrollable stuff on me if I make turns at speed, or will I be fine?
What do you reckon I need to do to make this handle safely?

I have heard about putting the ship model through wind tunnel and i wish to know what is the purpose behind this. Since i might not have access to a towing basin, how can i simulate the various tests? Areas that i wish to investigate would be drag and stability.

I have a Gemini Catamaran that has plexiglass windows. They are getting smokey and hard to see through. Are there any techniques or products I can use to help make them more like new?

Not interested in snorkeling, fishing. Looking for the fast boat to the Bahamas or Bimini where we could stay 1 or 2 nights and come back.
