Well to be quite honest it hasnt been, we've been hot and heavy trying to get a Data Center built in Central Oregon and I havnt had time to weld in three months. I had to take on running this job myself while my other foreman have been finishing some other projects. Hope to be back on the boat soon.

I really like the lines of that hull. For some reason I thought that you were going with an inboard diesel. Will you be going with a pair of F350s?

Yes it's looking like 350's at t his point, it Will have a 3 cylinder Mitsubishi to run hydraulics for refrigeration, bow thruster, tuna pullers and or girdles, also some plug and play ports for maybe a winch , or crab pot puller, trying to make her very diverse

Nope, doing the math, I think I have to stick to the 300 Yammies, just dont want to deal with the 350's economy and issues. I think 600 hp will be plenty now that my holds are down to 3800 lb. capcity with the RSW and Hydraulics, I think will still be under 15,000 Loaded weight. If I can cruise at 28 knts with economic burn and a projected 40Knts wot shell be fine.
