Has anyone here actually owned a 400 hp Ford Merlin marine diesel engine?

In my searches I (inc the Hull Truth) I can't find anything but negative comments. None of these opinions, however, come from anyone with actual experience.

There is a 45' trawler for sale with this engine.

Thanks

P.S. I am back. Went to the extreme darkside (DP Motorhome) for a year but RV parks are not for me so I sold it. Searching for another boat to replace my Albin 35
 
Do you know the CID of the engine. Was it a straight 6? 474 CID ? Turboed?
