Default Air cooled two stroke as inboard?

I had a brainwave the other day about putting a small (300cc)
aircooled two stroke as an inboard in a small wooden boat. With
adequate air circulation can anyone see any potential issues here? I
would build the boat with this purpose in mind so adapting something
to fit would not be a problem.

I once sailed on an Olson 30 that had an inboard setup that used a
Tecumseh 2 stroke air cooled engine. I don't remember how they got
enough air circulation.

It was so noisy you had to wear ear plugs.
