Because they can! The real answer is multi layered and will depend on how you intend to use the boat. A day trip within 5 miles of land does not call for twins. A Florida/Bahamas crossing, Channel Islands, Catalina or Dry Tortuga trip will usually call for a twin setup. Single engine catamarans are asked for and we made it work where others have failed.
