Previously I would have gone for a single, less total running hours, etc.  However, I've been keeping in tabs on Dick Vermeulen's P47 project.  The test hull measured (flat water, full load) better fuel economy with twins than a single at the same speed.  Twin volvo D-3s (160hp) 1500rpm 8.9 knots, 1.6 total gal/hr.  vs one engine, 2100 rpm, 8.7 knots, 2.8 total gal/hr.
