Lloyd,
Westerbeke used to do the cutest little 7hp diesel. THey may still do it, for
all I know.

I think he wants a Lister or similar. I understand the feeling: I had a
Victor Coventry single cylinder, 9 HP at 900 rpm, idle at 150 rpm: you could
almost count the firing. Big monster flywheel, hand start, reliable.
I should never have sold it.
I am checking eBay regularly for old Listers but rarely see them.
I want one too just to build a boat around, love those engines.

Heh. I have a Lister GK-2 hopper cooled engine tucked in a crate for
some future project. Can be radiator-cooled by adding a pump.Twin
cylinders, runs on petrol or kerosene, 10 HP at 1000 rpm, 15 @ 1500.
Biiiiiig heavy flywheel. Currently needs a new valve guide,
rebore/resleeve and new rings. One of these days...
