Looking for Ducati WATER COOLED Marine info

[170freedom]

So I have 2 water cooled Ducati Marine engines. One DM-184 HD (single cylinder), and one DM-284 HD (two cylinder). Both are mated to Hurth gears. The DM-184 is in my 19' Rhodes Diesel Launch https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rRHp83Dp7vY the other is sitting in my shop. I have put 110 hrs on the DM-184 thus far and it appears to run well. I have been on the web for sometime looking for info on these engines. Thus far, very far and few if any info out there. Infact, I have more info in the owners manual that came with them than I have found any where. I'm really just searching for other boats that have them currently running in them. I keep getting air cooled Ducati diesel info, but no water cooled. I was able to find 2 videos of the DM-284, but other than that the plate is empty. Just hoping for some feed back. I know they are kinda rare, but hopefully not extinct haha.

I've seen a couple but have not dug into finding info on them. All I could offer is maybe this forum Old Marine Engine
This site deals with nothing but real old engines.

Good luck

Thx ALLDODGE for the response, however these are late '80s early '90s engines- not vintage engines.
