Both the Hatteras 48 LRC or 58 LRC would be good choices. Both came with naturally aspirated (not counting the 2 cycle blower) DD 4-53, 4-71 or 6-71 engines. Believe the latter was only used in the 65 LRC. If maintained and used frequently, these engines will run almost forever. Parts are easy to get. You'd be looking at 150-300k for decent examples.

You won't find an LRC with a 92 series DD.
