I'm about to specify engines for a new 54' boat. I welcome some advice on what's best

one more point: I have had CAT engines in different boats but apparently they no longer

The closest current model appears to be the Cat C12:

The John Deere engines marinized by Lugger are also well regarded
although you may need more power depending on your displacement and
speed requirement:
