Weight in the hull lowers the waterline the same no matter it is located, unless there is some heel.
Depending on engine size for the same boat with twins vs single, the twins may be spinning smaller diameter props. And the props aren't under the lowest point of the hull. And they likely have 2 smaller rudders instead of 1 big one. So depending on keel design / size / placement, it's possible for the running gear to be tucked up tighter than on a single.
