I investigated purchasing a Cataline 30 that came equipped with that diesel, and even the seller admitted that the engine was underpowered, and that the boat couldn't get out of it's own way. He said that a big enough chop on the Chesapeake could nearly grind the boat to a complete halt.
For that reason alone, I think it's worth at least investigating if the A4 will fit into your Catalina.
It's a real shame that the various engines weren't adjusted to fit the boat, instead of adjusting the log tubes to suit the engines.
