Engine stuff

Gil, I found some pix on the web (boat for sale site) that show the engine inside the 'cabin' area - apparently using a straight shaft without the reduction reversal as depicted in the Diana drawings. Looking at the range of exhaust stack locations, I'd say there is a bit of variety. An engine in the back deck would be easy access but more exposed whereas one in the cabin not so much, providing heat easily but perhaps a CO hazard... design compromises to be made for the engine location, plus how big it is physically.

Great drawings/ 3D CAD, BTW!

Fascinating!
