Abstract

A boat 10 comprises a main deck 18 located at the level of the bilges of the boat and a low-profile inboard engine 30 located at, or towards the centre of the vessel. The engine is at least partially located below the main deck of the boat. The boat may be a rigid inflatable boat and may be a jet tender in which the engine is operatively connected to a jet pump 36 located below the level of the main deck. A fuel tank 34 may also be located below the level of the main deck while a passenger or cargo area 16 may be located above the level of the main deck. Also disclosed is an opposed piston marine engine (Fig. 3) and a cylinder liner (80, Fig 6) for an internal combustion engine of the opposed piston type.
