Yes I have a 2007 that is a single and has been a great boat. I think you will like the twin small blocks but I would love to see you go for some Raylar aluminum small blocks, that would be a azz hander and might run past the century mark.
I here the 6.2's accelerate pretty well. Good luck and have fun!!!

They have smartcraft viewing system for most all the new merc engines. The merc smart system electronically monitors the operating system of the engine. It constantly checks compression, fuel delivery, overheating, fuel pressure, oil pressure, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember. Hopefully someone will chime in an ALL its advantages. Basically if the engine starts to experience any sort of possibly damaging mechanical failure it will automatically shut the engine down, or shut the engine down to "safe mode" and let you idle below 1500rpm to get you back to the dock, which in theory should protect the engine from completely blowing. Do your research, merc explains it alot better than me. I've got the smartsytem on my sea ray with 6.2. Its kicked in on numerous occasions - caught an anchor rope in the bravo 3 prop (counter rotating) and it shut itself down - no damage. Blew a fuse to the fuel pump - shut itself down - replaced the fuse and no damage.
