Not sure but can Diesel motors be converted?

Perhaps it just isnt convenient to get propane-able engines on the horsepowers that we use? Have a search around for propane conversions in other gasoline-marine engines, mauybe it exists? Perhaps have a talk with some engine shops maybe they have done something similar?

Another thing I can picture is the non-availability of propane in Marinas? (as I understand it it isnt as simple as bringing a truck close to the boat to refuel)... another cause for concern could be due to safety, although I'm not sure if the impact is any more or less than in automobiles...
