Mark,
If you spent as money on maintenance as they do you prolly never need a get me home or a 2nd engine. But you're going to bring Janet and her husband and their kids and a coupla his buddies down to the boat to go for an afternoon putz around the harbor. They all just showed up at the house and someone suggested "let's go for a boat ride. Never mind if you haven't been down to the boat for over a month and the battery seemed a little flat and several other maint things are over due they all want to go for a ride and you've always wanted to impress Janet**** ...after all you'll be the captain of the ship.
Lots of trawlers go down to the water in such a state. I think they'd be better off w twins.

"with twins you are generating TWICE as much heat in the engine room on those hot summer days." If your Naval Architect and/or builder built your boat responsibly your boat would have as much power in either configuration**** ..single or twin** ...and produce the same amount of heat in the ER.
