You don't need 2 engines to hit the close rigs. If you're not going out that far, say <10mi, you don't need multiple engines. You have cell service more often than not, a vhf, electronics. Get a membership to sea tow and it's fine. Would it be nice to have? Absolutely, is it necessary? No. Judging by the original post it sounds like he can do what he wants safely and efficiently in a single engine boat.

My boat is a Hydra Sport Bay Bolt 23, we routinley fish 40-50 miles offshore in the summer and fish up to 20 miles all winter. You can fish offshore with a single engine boat, just pick the days carefully and have all the appropriate saftey gear (Epirb, raft, redundant VHF and a Seatow membership) Look around for a used Bay Bolt if you can find one, it's a true hybrid that can fish 16" of water or 50 miles offshore.
