welcome to the zoo....first off...those diesels aren't exactly the best engines to own....I've read and know of one individual that had a single with that engine and they don't like to be spun up tight like a gas engine does....you need to stay at or below 2500rpm.....with that being said...if your in a planing hull...and it's geared right..then 2500rpm will be fine...but if your struggling to get up on plane..then...your going to push it harder thus working the engine above 2500 and it's not going to last....
as I said..I have a buddy of mine with that engine...it's now a paperweight....he's been trying to find an engine for about 3 yrs now to replace the Beamer engine......I'd walk away from in if it were me....find a maxum of that size with twin big blocks and b3 drives...you'll be way happier....believe me.....
but that's only my opinion...not that of maxum boats or anything else...
