Good evening everyone.
I know this has been discussed a couple of times here. Just to ... refresh everyone's memory, on more details:
+ More gas on twin, but how much more (in term of percentage)?
+ Heavier on twin: if strickly on a 27 footer (Sundancer / Regal for example), would it be that bad (tail drag vs getting on plan much quicker)?
+ Maintenance - more on twin: again, small maintenance (oil change, etc...) is probably "ok". What about major ones (100 hrs, etc...), would it break one's wallet/budget? I know if you have to change both engines then you're pretty much doomed I guess. Hehehe.
+ On the plus side, twin has a backup, single doesn't! What else? More power maybe?
+ Anything else I miss, please advice.
For my first boat, I'd definitely go with single. But just for future references, if you don't mind answering.
Good weekends everyone.
Nhi
