I've drove a customers 32 Sunsation down at LOTO that just has a single 496, all stock and it runds just fine. Gets on plane easy and runs low to mid 60's.

A 32 Baja with twin 454's weighs a lot more than 6000#. Its closer to 8000#.

In boats that can be equipped with either a single or twins, a single with 800 hp will run faster than 2 400hp engines.

Using a 28 Pantera as an example. Twin 502/415hp run about 80mph. A single 700hp will put the boat over 80mph. The single will break drives a lot easier.
