If you have 2x 50HP engines on the back of a speed boat, do they work as well as 1x 100HP engine?
either way, what is the point of having two? - (other than a safety aspect if one cuts out)

If you have 2 x 50hp engines it would not be economical you also have the added cost of two servicing charges , not as fast as a single 100hp engine 2 x 50hp engines are more manoeuvrable and as you have already mentioned the safety aspect there is no need to go into that

The boat will have better low-speed maneuvering ability with two motors. You can put one in reverse and the other forward to turn on a dime. Also if you are trolling, or just want to go slow in an canal etc. you can use just one motor which will be more efficent than running a big motor barely above idle.

A single engine will scew the rear of the boat in the opposite direction theat the prop is turning. Dual engines rotate in opposite directions in order to counteract that force.
