"...So, if there is another keel cooled, electronic engine that should be
considered, could someone point it out to me? I could really use the
help...."

You may want to contact Lugger (http://www.northern-lights.com )

They make "marinized" versions of John Deere engines. Their engines are used
in several brands of trawlers, including Nordhavns. 

Just to get a sense of what engine an equivalent Nordhavn would have, I
looked at their spec sheets. An 85,000 pound Nordhavn 47 comes stock with a
Lugger L1066T.2, which is rated at 173hp (at 2,400 rpm). I would think you
want what they call their "Continuous Duty" engine.

 You may get the best information by surfing trawler sites looking to see
what engine is in comparably sized, and weight, trawlers.
