On my first boat I stole my Grandmas Victrola, the wind up
type, and hooked it up to a fan blade. Worked well until
Granny found out.

You can even use the blade instead of the prop...

but I have never heard of anyone simply replacing an
inboard with a
normal engine such as from a
go-kart or Volkswagon

Why that complicated? I'd like to know why manufactures
haven't
switched to installing B&S or Kohler lawn tractor
engines in boats.
Just think when it blows up it could be replaced for
$400-$600 instead
of the $6,000 that Yanmar wants. A 2cyl lawn tractor
engine has as
much HP as a Yanmar. What's the problem?
