Bruce said, "In my view, twin appropriately sized engines with a single 
shaft cannot be beat for redundancy, power flexibility, efficiency and 
safety."

There is a Beebe designed 50' Knight & Carver passagemaker for sale in 
Portland OR that has twin Perkins stacked on top of each other that have 
belts driving a shaft into a single transmission. You can run on both 
engines or either one by moving levers on the side of the engine cage. 
It's quite a setup and if your in the Portland area the boat is worth 
looking at. The broker is very friendly and willing to show the boat. 
It's been on the market for over a year and would be a great long range 
passagemaker at a very reasonable cost.
