My new baby! 6.8 Meter fiber over wood fishing boat !

Another boat i saw, locally built and the engines (yes if i can call it that) is a marinated diesel engine ....
The boat costs the same as the bartram i posted on the other thread. ...

Thats a marnized engine, does any one have experience with conversions?

 

[wardd]

And are more thought off ..... I guess people buying subs do look for "surfacing option" in the sales brochure ...
