Thanks, it looks great but we're leaning towards a smaller single engine for better gas mileage -- though that axius system looks amazing!
If if you plan on mooring on lake union in a tight quarters dock, or using the locks a fair bit, and traveling the salt..... I highly recommend going with twin motors. The safety of an extra motor to limp home on if needed, and far better maneuverability make it a big advantage over a 26' single.
the difference in efficiency or additional cost is minimal compared to the benefits.
just some advice from someone who has been down a similar path, in the same area, making similar assumptions.
