Teach your wife to dock. It will make it more interesting for her. Don't yell at her when you get excited.
You couldn't give me a Volvo engine of any size, warrantied or not. Otherwise most yacht engines are about equal.
Twice in 60 years, I came back on one engine. For that reliability and the ease of docking, I prefer twins. Both times I could have fixed the problem at sea but chose not to.
You have twice the oil changes and twice the equipment to maintain, but you don't use twice the fuel.
