I was referring to marinized by themselves or others. I'm not aware of any, but you may be. If so, please share.

I don't think I would pine for any Cat engine in the sub 500hp class. Unless they have some offering I don't know about.
Many of those engines are not made by Cat, but rebranded from other mfr's.
Little ones for sure are something like Shibaura. Others, not sure. I think the C15 and above are made by Cat.
An MS strikes me as neither here nor there.

But it's somewhere.
My concern about a motor sailor is the expenses of a trawler and of a sail boat.
I always assumed this is why they acquired Perkins
They are BUILT in China, but owned by PAE over in Dana Point. An American company. So profits come here.
All the more reason to avoid buying new from them: they're Americans who decided to give jobs to Chinese instead of their own countrymen. Profits may come to one or two folks here, but jobs for our own workers is what America needs, not another clown getting rich offshoring jobs.

Aren't "Luggers" or JD just rebranded Komatsu ?
Can you back that JD just rebranded statement? All the JD equipment I've owned the engines were designed and built by JD in one of their 5 plants. Waterloo USA, Torreon Mexico, Saran France, Pune India and Rosario Argentina.
I'm not saying it's wrong but this forum is the only place I've ever heard that.
Does anyone have any experience with the Nordhavn 56 motorsailer with a Cat instead of the Lugger?
No, and I don't think you will find any such experience. All Nordhavn 56MSers were then built with a Lugger (John Deere based) 165 hp engine. This is a fine engine for this boat, but Lugger no longer sells marine engines.
I have noticed that Nordhavn, probably in concert with the change to John Deere engines, is offering higher horsepower engines in all of their model range with the exception of the 52 and 56MS which still shows the Lugger which is probably just laziness in fixing their website.
If you wanted to spring for a new build, Nordhavn would probably install a John Deere 6081 at 235 hp. That is a heavy 8.1 liter engine and would be loafing at hull speed.
Call Nordhavn and discuss which engine would be appropriate for this model, but it won't be a Cat.

I don't believed there are very many Nordhavn 56 motorsailers to start with, so I think the chances of finding one with something other than a Lugger are very slim.
Just bought one yesterday for my kid:Like "Make American Great Again" caps?

"Made in China."
"Embroidered in USA"
I think it's fantastic that you never shop at Walmart, considering it's basically a Chinese products outlet.
