I/O ventilation

That's right, mine's the same way. Take a look at the next picture and notice the vent on the left is facing forward, this one only has a vent leading all the way to the bilge so fresh air is forced all the way down. The right vent faces aft and the blower is attached to this vent making sure the blow direction is toward the vent. The blower also has a hose that goes all the way down to the bilge so it can scavenge all the gas fumes that like to accumulate there.

This is the Coast Guard suggested setup. Too bad I don't have any pictures of the blower inside the engine compartment.

That's the most comfortable place to sit in a boat. I've fallen asleep there many times myself.

Ah Yes, there is nothing like crossing Biscayne Bay headed to Cesar’s Creek on a flat summer day to make you really enjoy life.

You said it!!! Hopefully soon I'll be able to do it again. My son is scheduled to return from Iraq in September and he and the whole family are planning to come and spend December here with us. That means I would have to get the new engine installed before then but I doubt it unless a miracle happens and I get the funds by early November so the engine is installed by Dec. Wish me luck!
