a 30' cat with a single will b unreliable on drive.

never seen a 30' performance cat with a single but i would suspect u could end up looking like a fool around the docks vs. a hero with some egg beaters on back.

I know Kachina was building a 30 cat with single or twins, saw a couple on the production line but the owner died & I never saw one get finished. would have been pretty cool to see how the exact same boat would perform side by side single vs twin

bottom line the only reason i have a single is because i can't afford twins

Twin OB's. You really can't hurt the OB's with Smartcraft these days. They stop themselves before anything gets hurt. Too many RPMS, alarm goes off. Go through a sharp turn and lose H2O pressure on one side for a sec, alarm goes off. Really bullet proof 100+ mph packages.

depends on what you want. If your talking same speed I would go with a single. I have twins and there cool but at the same time it hurts the wallet.

I'm for single as well, for the wallet reason...I mean how often do you guys actually break down?

HOWEVER if I would afford it, twins would be cool. Assuming all things being equal though there is nothing wrong with a single.

at least with twins you get the pleasure of double the repair bill seems like when 1 motor has a problem the other is not far away count on it
