Yes - a few of them do have the option. A number of the single engined boats such as Nordhavn and Selene have an optional wing engine - you see used ones for sale with and without that option. Also, of the 8 Krogen 54 pilothouses made, 2 had twins and the rest were single screw.

In the end I need to decide, for myself, if I am ok with a single engine boat with no backup propulsion. That could rule out some boats I find right from that start.
