RE: 1 engine or 2?

Having had a 2 motor Grand Banks and now a single Krogen, I like single better cause its simpler. Having 2 engines makes it hard to work on the outboard side and it is harder to have a look at the out board side during engine room checks.. A single sits lower in the hull lowers the CG. Prop is better protected. Maneuvering a single with a wimpy, sissy, stupid bow thruster is easy once you get the hang of it. (I thought a Harley was a motorcycle.)
