I do really like the many speed levels as well as hard chine handling capabilities when on full-plain and hard chine stability while at anchor that exists with planing hull and twins.
Although I really agree with the advantages of a single engine trawler, Art's post above & the performance of a twin and what it can bring to the party are traits that I'm addicted to.
