Not only did wooden Boat do extensive coverage of the Subaru application, they also sponsored a design competition for a Small cruiser to accept the Sube. In addition they furnished the names of manufacturers who build the marinizing parts for that engine.
I believe that Subaru themselves make a marine version of the opposed piston design.

Inboard

Just found your forum I am fitting a eg33 six cylinder subaru into a barrelback
19 I am building and plan to run dry manifolds up to the risers and lag the dry
section. I have customized the headers to be further away from the hull as well
as ceramic coated to help lagging
I have attached some pics of the jigs i made for the risers and of the motor. Any feedback welcome

I bought a Subaru Wagon in 77. Brand new, it was trouble from the start.
They didn't work out well in Aircraft either. Nice looking and light weight, but had bearing and seal failures under loads.

I've always liked the idea of a flat engine with the Exhaust up on top, Fuel Injected, so there isn't a hi profile.
Maybe Subaru or an old Corvair, VW, Porsche etc is the right thing?

I am hoping that the problems you experienced have been resolved on the new
subaru models.

I am really trying to get a boxer motor to work so will keep you posted

Hey Inboard, nice build so far! But can you please tell me what you mean by "lag"?
