Those look like remarkable engines, but slow turning, so big and heavy.
This is a small air cooled diesel.

The issues with air cooled diesels on a boat are noise and ventilation.
The water jacket provides enough extra mass and bulk to have a
significant noise reduction effect, and diesels need all the noise
reduction they can get. In addition, air cooling requires an open
engine box further adding to the noise issue.

Impressive research but you missed the real gem:

the 5 hp model can be had for about $200 last I checked. The info I have
is that this is the factory that makes these engines for Yanmar. A rumor
is that they make the gasoline engines for Honda.
