Moving the console forward! Modi and I have looked into that a bit. An extra foot at the stern would be awesome. I'm very interested to see this. Any ball park numbers for the yanmar? cruise, peak, GPH?

A foot will make a huge difference. I think the outboards have the console positioned right at the floor hatch which is what I'm shooting for.
The estimated numbers are 30 mph @ 2,850 cruise burning 9 gph and 36 mph top end. Don't know what prop size yet. My old carburated Crusader 454 cruised around 27 mph at 3,100 burning about 24 gph turning a 17x17 prop. The top end was about the same. We'll see but at worst it will increase my range by more than 2 1/2 times.
