I'm designing a 40' sailboat and was wondering if
it's a good idea to put the engine under the dining
table to save some space.

If the engine isn't used that often then the noise
may not be a problem but I'm still a little worried
about the smell.

Does anybody know any boat made this way ?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
My J/37 has the Volvo 2003 under the table. I think it is a great place
for the engine. Weight distribution is close to optimum. Access is
superb. I replaced the old and heavy sound insulation with modern stuff.
The sound level is fine. Face it, running a diesel on a small boat is
not going to sound like you are in a library. As long as the boat has
enough beam so there is good room to walk past the table, I don't see
any down side to this approach.
