Do boats come in LPG like you can with a car or is it just petrol and diesel engines?

Fibreglass or wood usually. In LPG they'd just float away!!!!!

There are certainly companies which convert boat engines to LPG, so there will probably be boat builders who will supply an LPG-engined boat.

There are safety considerations in using LPG as a fuel on a boat. LPG is heavier than air and any escaped gas will remain in the bilges with the potential of a lethal explosion. Petrol poses much the same risk and is why diesel with its lower volatility is often the preferred fuel.
