Show me the Twins!
Our new LSM 550 motors were developed for just this reason, how to get twin motors in the back of a 28-36 foot average comfortable performance boat without loading the back end of the boat with 2200 pounds of motors alone.
The new LSM550 dynos at 550HP at 5800 rpms , 565 ft/lbs of torque all the way from 3700 rpm to 4700 rpm and it weighs just under 500lbs per motor. Not bad for a 7.3liter all aluminum freshwater cooled small block LS based engine!
You can see them @ www.raylarengine.com
Put two of these in a 28 - 36 foot twin hull and the 1200lbs you just dropped out of the back of the boat should make a big difference in performance and economy!
Just thought I would throw in a new twist to the twins versus single controversy!

Ray @ Raylar

Even though our new LSM550's are hand built "blueprinted" engines, we don't advertise or list them as HP or Racing engines so the insurance companies will take a better view of the boat that is so equipped. Our standard one year - recreational use- limited warranty applies to these engines and based on our 6-8 months of testing we feel they will easily go 750hours + in normal high performance recreational use with good service and care on 89 octane pump gas!
