Not sure what would be "underpowered" to your standards, but I don't believe most of the leisure boat owners would be so willing to use a noisy and shaky horizontal-single Yanmar (or its Chinese copies) that I still see often on small fishing boats. Well, there are some boats fitted with such engines used as regular passenger transport in a touristic area in Florianópolis, but it's a very specific circumstance.
