T-Top with Straight Inboard, engine under console

[blunas2188]

Savage, how did you set that up. do the pistons just help to make it go up at slow speeds or are they actually controlled by a switch or something? Is that a tough set up to do? and how strong does your deck have to be? I assume very strong.

Chance- Is your engine located in the middle of the boat or is it located more back towards the aft. It almost seems a little further back than mine but I cannot tell if it just the picture angles that make me think that. Also, how did you get that dog house? You build it?

Thanks guys

It is in the original engine placement. I built the doghouse myself, it took a few days from start to finish, but i think it came out nice and served my purpose of keeping me a little more out of the weather.

I used those same mounts in the front but mounted them to aluminum plates ,counter sunk from the bottom air craft nutted from the top to spread out the weight load on either side .A little 5200 and it is rock solid .The dog house Chance is talking about is great but weighs alot and if you fish the bay chop,and run the inlets to the south ,things will loosen .I guess that is par for the coarse ,with a 30 year young boat.. email me if your on the cape come take a look. Also some inboard Seevee's have deck mounted ttops and the console folds foward to access the motor ,there is one on boat trader.
