I've seen a few boats that had these engines in them. One had three of them two sixes were used on gensets and a twelve as a main engine and the other had two sixes at main engines. Then a big push boat with twin sixteens main engines, the props under her stern were about nine feet across... Her draft was just over ten feet, in shallow water they had to be careful on the power usage because the amount of water the props moved could suck the hull to the bottom of the waterway.
