I think the two together (engine and dinig table) are not really compatible
or desirable. Pleasant dining means quiet and clean air - engines make noise
and emit fumes...
Look for a better solution.

I'm designing a 40' sailboat and was wondering if
it's a good idea to put the engine under the dining
table to save some space.

If the engine isn't used that often then the noise
may not be a problem but I'm still a little worried
about the smell.

Does anybody know any boat made this way ?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
