Comments or no comments, makes no difference to me. I just though it was an
interesting idea.

You may not want to start out with this system.
It seems to be meant as an alliterative to repowering a twin gas boat with
twin diesels. There would be cost savings and a large weight reduction over
repowering with twin diesels.
You would also have lots of room to work on and around the engine.

Perhaps. But it costs almost as much as repowering with new diesels.
