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

The Deere is a long stroke, low RPM, wet sleeve design.

Translation:

Low vibration, long life and because it is wet sleeve,
can be rebuilt in the boat.

Was planning on using one in the boat I was building.

SFWIW, had also designed in an AquaDrive to further isolate
the engine from the hull thus reducing vibration and noise.
