IMHO,, I wouldn't buy twins, double the maint. cost and double your chances of engine breakdowns,,, even with warranties that doubles your chances of having a bout in the shop.
For 46K you can purchase this boat and it's fully rigged with electronics,auto pilot, out rigger, custom covers ect. http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6188
The boat is clean and ready fish, unlike most new boats that you have to run back and forth to the dealer to get the "bugs out".

| If you do go Parker -
Spend the extra dough for a 23' hull - especially if you're running offshore.
You never regret having the extra space in the cockpit.

I have a 2003 Seaswirl 2301 CC with twin 115's and I think its a great boat, the twins are not that much more in cost and they offer security.
Just my opinion
Aloha!

D) Go to Allison and look at some of the Diesel SeaSwirls.
Just make sure you get the stinking insurance BS faxed over in time.
