Nah TB... you should have space for that little engine... might improve your motoring speeds too.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Just a slight mod is necessary to fit a 23,000 ton, 89 feet long x 44 feet high engine. See your sailmaker about increasing sail area to pull that load.

But do double-check your fuel tank, just to be sure it can keep up with the 1,660 gal/hr consumption

I think the 12 cly version will fit quite nicely between the head and the gally, I just don't know where to put the fuel tank. Bladder tank on the coach roof maybe?
