I've been doing all this work on the engine mounts/trans/driveline/etc.. And i'm looking at this engine box molded out of fiberglass and cant help but see just how much space there is around the starboard size of the engine along with a bunch of wasted space for the bottom step.. There is also a lot of room in the area over the engine also.. Has anyone thought of or built out a custom engine box to waste less room in the cabin? i can see where the ventilation could be improved as well with more direct venting to pull air away from the top of the engine and out the back of the boat... and also put in vent lines to provide cool fresh air as well... i'd think something built out of the same wood as the rest of the interior would improve the looks as well..
anyone have any thoughts on this?
