I would suggest not buying a particular boat for one destination as you have many years and destinations ahead of you. It depends more on the condition/dependability of the single engine. Though the point of Bahamian tows being expensive is true, it's not enough to justify paying for a second engine IMHO. Weather wise, sailboats don't outrun weather. June-Oct is the most likely time for weather popping up unexpectedly. Winter storms usually give warning. BTW if the boat has a tunnel hull, they are miserable to back into a slip without a bow thruster. How many times have you been on a 400 and piloted one?
