<p>There are a number of reasons why NOT to use inboard diesels - cost, weight, loss of space inside both hulls, smell, and most particularly a number of extra through-hull openings. I think there are quite a few Wharram cats with a single diesel installed in a pod on deck, with a long, liftable prop shaft. That makes more sense, but you only have one engine then. It's useful to have two props for turning in tight places like harbours! Hybrid electric nice if you can afford it!</p>
