Default twins or single?

Hey im getting a 19ft RIB soon and i have a couple of power options: 115hp 4 stroke Honda, 135hp 4 stroke honda, or twin 50 40 strokes (also honda)...what would the benefit of having twin motors be? and if anyone knows, what kind of price difference between the 3 options is there? thanks!

Unless you are going out of radio range with your RIB, I would go with the cheaper, faster. lighter single engine option. I would also suggest you go with a 140-150 as minimum power for the 19´hull.
