There's something fishy about this boat
Very nice. Looks like Mr Kent has some refined talents. Keep them pics coming. Nice proportions. It looks much lighter than frp houses. Any idea what it weighed?
Powder-coated?

Power plans?

Oh yeah --NICE garage!

Not sure of exact weight and dimensions, but I'll post when I have them. Boat is a straight inboard powered by 310hp PCM. The engine sits under the doghouse. Kent Fab also built an aluminum subframe around the engine well with a heavy duty hinge on the forward edge. The entire house tilts forward to allow engine access. It sits against a flange on the subfloor frame but all contact points are starboard (no metal on metal). There are 2 heavy duty dogs on the inside aft corners to fasten it in place. When we were planning this the goals were A) bulletproof, B) functional, C) purdy, in that order. Yes - it is powder coated.

McGill - Mr. Kent is infinitely talented - I highly recommend him. That's his garage (I wish it was mine!). I think you're right, the weight will come in a bit lower than a typical cored doghouse.

Blackfin - the Savage is a great layout - you'll love it.

Regrettably I won't have any progress or pics to share for a couple weeks, but I will post when I do.
