thanks,
in all honesty i did spend alot of time think and toying with ideas and working out what i wanted and what ideas i was taking from my old boat and looking at others.
only thing i am not happy with is the top moulding of the console, it is bad, so thinking of replacing with a new one.
will post more pics as i scale them down...

i am liking the cummins engine alot.
i am still breaking it in so not going full revs, but i am getting 27 / 28 knots cruising speed using 17 liters an hour. thats 900 rpm off full
that is an un-calibrated fuel reading as i have to run the tank down to see if it reading correct, but seems a good figure.

ok engine install pics:
the steering power seering pump was removed as well as the air filter and housing, exhaust elbow, and some other little bits on the stb side of the engine, the engine was dropped in with the front facing to port and then the back lifted and the whole engine rotated and dropped in..... easy!!!!!!
a snug fit, but not the tightest i have ever seen.
