Folks, the post above should end all single vs. twin debates. The secret answer has been revealed - twin engined boats are less reliable because owners do not or are less likely to monitor their engines. Marin and others with twins, you need to stop driving your boats with pumps that have missing impeller blades, frayed belts, collapsed hoses, clogged heat exchangers and who knows what else.
