Having just replaced a 20 hp single with a BS twin 20 I can assure you the single is a bad design. One problem is getting 20 hp in one bang every other rotation. Vibration is horrific to the point where a lot of bolts to key areas just can't stay in place.

The BS twin is smooth as silk like my 22 BS twin.
I have a 15, 16, and 17.5 Kohler Commander and all are twice or more as old as the Courage, all singles and have had zero problems with them.
