By exceeding the strict EPA Tier 3 and EU RCD Stage 2 emissions regulations, the engines feature a virtually odor-free and smoke-free operation. Direct connectivity to NMEA and J1939 CAN-bus networks has been purpose engineered into the 4LV range, allowing future-proofed integration to any multifunction bridge display. [links]
The 4LV series engine raises the standard for engines in its class, with exceptionally low noise and vibration alongside the 2.8 L displacement delivering powerful low-end torque and stunning acceleration. [links]
Over and above the impressive performance, the resounding benefit of the 4LV Series remains its versatility, with all models available with multiple shaft and jet drive options and the durable YANMAR ZT370 sterndrive. Fulfilling needs across all boating applications, it is the perfect solution for new builds and repowering.

I know that you have a ton of boating experience (vastly more than I) but be aware that the nearly invisible rudder they put on these boats wouldn't control your dingy at marina speeds - there is a reason they have dual thrusters. You have zero rudder authority when backing down in the marina, so coming from a Tomcat, or an outboard, it is gonna take you back to those days of yesteryear when boats were wood and sailors were men of steel and rubrails were more than decoration.

I haven't heard (in the example given) whether the loss of speed was accompanied by not being able to reach rated RPM (plus a 100 or 200 RPM). I suspect if load of the boat was keeping the speed down, then the RPM isn't reaching the rated level. Which means the engine isn't operating properly. Re-proping or reducing the load is necessary.

Devlin has designed dinghies, rowboats, sailboats, motoryachts, motorsailers, catamarans, trawlers, runabouts and more. “I really don’t spend much time thinking of the past accomplishments of my career,” he says. “I would rather think about the next designing and building adventure.”
He constantly tweaks the existing models. Currently, the Helmsman 43 is being updated with a new outward appearance, to become the 43E.
Although their single-inboard, straight-shaft models have keels and shoes that give props a lot of protection, they say outboards offer a different set of advantages, including more stowage and quieter cruising. “The outboards will kick up when they hit debris,” David says. “With the inboards, when you bend a prop and shaft, you have to get pulled from the water and you’ll lose days on the water. You can fix an outboard at the dock. [links]
The Blue Fin was powered by a diesel, but Devlin is power agnostic. Besides oars and sails, he’s designed boats with inboards, outboards, pods and solar-electric drives. “We’re flighty on the power thing,” he says.
The idea was born when he spotted a tug pulling a 45-foot Chris-Craft that was on the verge of sinking. When Devlin learned how much the tug operator had been paid for a day’s work—$6,500—he told his two adult sons that they might all be in the wrong business.
Wilde says Nordic Tugs are great for extending the Northeast boating season. “You can use it longer because you don’t need perfect weather,” he says. He should know. Since 2000, he has upgraded from the Nordic Tugs 37 to the Nordic Tugs 42 and now owns a 54. “I use my boat all the time,” he says. “Our Northeast owners start in April and go all the way through November.”
