The B1's launch up on plane faster and without having to be easy on the throttle, I can nail it wot from a dead stop and zero cavitation, the cruise speed is faster at the same rpm also, the only down side is I lost some top end speed, I might get them labbed which could help top end, but I really don't run wot very often so I haven't missed it.

lemme try this again. when you break one engine with a single you are-literally-up the creek without a paddle. if you have twins, you still get home WITHOUT paying seatow. and you notice i said WHEN not IF you break an engine. the price of a little extra fuel, and double maint is worth that little detail...

Im sorry that you think that me asking this question means im an individual that you cant explain anything to EVER, I beg to differ. And please dont confuse me with dereknkathy. It is a worthwhile question when im trying to buy a boat and am looking at twins vs singles in every aspect. Its not the only deciding factor but if I asked the question and every single person said twins use double the fuel then yes that is a big factor. Im sorry that this question moved from answers or opinions to dereknkathys comments to just bashing him or her or whatever to then putting me into the same group with him and saying i could never have anything explained to me. Sorry if stevesxm or others thought it was a bad question.
