Oooo, what sort of Lister? Not renound for their quietness are they! The less number of cylinders then the more the vibration and noise - it doesn't really smooth out until 4 cylinders or more. Betsey is fitted with a 3 cyl water cooled diesel and that throbs the boat quite a bit. I take it that it's also air cooled... Every cooling fin on the engine will vibrate and make noise (why motorbikes are usually noiseier than cars - unless they are water cooled).
