    I intend to build Bolger Micro Trawler and want to make some modifications.
    1-One friend builded MT without rear Cabin.OK.Att.two picture of it(Grebe5 and 7).Can I install one aircooled
    inboard engine at the middle of the rear side?
    2-Instead of rear cabin,can I build one cabin at front,like the attached picture(15 Ft STB_CUTAWAY)?

    Valuable ideas are highly appreciated.

    Regards
    Nezih

    Why do you want an air cooled inboard? A water cooled engine will make the space around it more comfortable and usable.

    It is bcs of the limited budget.
    Water cooled engines are expensive,omparing Air Cooled Engines.One of my
    friends bought an Air cooled Engine,added Gear and installed to one outboard engine shaft.So it works well and cost cheap.

    mini tug

    I to am about to start a mini tugboat and really like the look of the cabin/wheelhouse on your 3d drawing, do you have any more drawings?
    also is it based on a micro trawler or a Berkely Engineering CanDu E-Z

    3rd drawing belongs to modified Bolger Micro Trawler.If you visit Micro Trawler
    Bolger at Google(pictures) you will see many MT pictures.

    mini tug

    Its your CAD drawing I'm interested in, I think a wheelhouse like that would suit the candu nicely

    Yes it looks like Candu.But not Candu.I suppose Candu will satisfy your requirement.
