I have some excelent data on a 53 Convertible we did a few months back. Originally equipped with 12V-71s this boat preforms so well with these engines. You can also come see them in person next week at the Miami International Boat Show. These will fit the space, and do an amazing job for you.
Scania were the engines of choice on the large yachts built in Brazil going back to the early 90s.

Just a comment, a YouTuber I used to follow was in Green Turtle in the Bahamas and needed CAT parts. Local engine shop pointed at huge shop/warehouse, "thats my Detroit warehouse". and his mailbox- "thats CAT warehouse". 8 weeks to get CAT parts from US.
