Yes. No need for water-jacketed exhausts. The engine will be completely exposed.

Jan,
Was the Shepard originally a V drive? I know they loved to use them. |

Yes, I'd say that boat will work for your "purpose" quite nicely!
Don't some of the diesel inboards use 2:1 transmissions? I'd almost think that would be the ticket for the low rpm and torque of that engine. Very cool, I can't wait to hear it run. |

Your logic is backwards on the transmission... A low revving engine that wants to run higher speeds would benefit from a lower reduction or even an overdrive (<1:1) tranny. That would get prop speed higher (and allow use of a shorter prop).
High torque, low rev diesels usually go in larger/heavier/slower boats and the larger reduction further allows them to turn large props at low speeds. I think JohnB has a good theory on the power of attraction that old, loud boats have.

For now, I'll proceed with Michigan Wheel's recommendation. If I don't like the results, I can always change the transmission and/or prop.

Thanks for the explanation Tim. I looked at a Peninsular 6.5 ad and talked to the seller last winter, had a 2:1 mated to it, but as you pointed out must have been thinking backwards about it.

Jan,
You must have missed my question. From the picture you posted, the Shepard looks like a DD but as mentioned, they did love the VD's.

Jan, Still missed the question? Don't forget we'd love to see more pictures of both the Shepard and Dee Wite.
