RE: Conventional or POD Drives?

Wonder when we will see diesel electric pod drives. If I were going to accept all that electronic engine control as being "bullet proof reliable", why would I still want 2 engines instead of 1? When looking at the 2009 GB41 on Yacht World, I kept thinking why would I be so "Jurassic" as to have 2 engines no water maker and only 200 gallons of fresh water in a 41' boat for $825,000? I know I'm being a smart ass, but probably a $200,000 drive train and only 200 gallons of water.....c'mon.
