Volvo 5.0 gxi question

[dcartie]

Hey guys, I did a general search and couldn't find an answer so here goes. I'm looking at a 30 ft express cruiser equipped with twin Volvo 5.0 gxi SINGLE prop outdrives. I currently am operating a 27 ft with a mercruiser 5.0 bravo 3. Can anyone compare the two and recommend if the single is a good or bad idea? And advice is appreciated.

The twins would probably use more fuel.
The benefit of twins is you usually can make it back to the dock.
The Volvo's compared to the Bravo is close.
They both use the cone clutch type of drive.
Volvo's always been the best drive.(my opinion)
The duo=prop Bravo is a good drive too.Great handling.
