Re: Engine weight
Those engines are gonna be way to heavy for that boat. They weigh about 2300 pounds a piece as compared to about 8-900 for a typical marine gas engine. I can't say as to weather the hull will support the weight or not but I know preformance will be horrible with them. look into some newer diesels. A pair of Yanmar 315's would be a nice power option for that boat. They weigh more like 1300 pounds(600 Kilograms) each.
