On my build you could have 7 foot of recessed deck. You would have to make different arrangements for fueling

Maybe it will be done by G6 and maybe not.

Thanks for looking John! I was thinking about saddle tanks to accommodate this idea.

The ruler and pencil are telling me to look at the Biscayne now, as it might have a little more distance from the transom to the engine without having to be almost 25 feet long...

So tedious...

we all know what you want that bed for!!!! but there is no way, unless you can talk John out of one of his flat continentals and make it work,,, cheaper to just get a motel room

It ain't the same as being under the stars, on the wader.... trust me, been there.....

"and that's all I got ta say about that", in best Forrest Gump accent

Sometimes, sometimes. Of course we literally have it out to nap in almost daily in the summer, but there's also other "functions" for that area when it's dark out...

I can't get a set of measurements to work out ideally against any of the hulls because there's just not enough depth. I guess a little bit of that is the downfall of mahogany runabouts and their sleek look, no way to get the nice lines with the kind of displacement and hull depth I need.

Too bad we can't talk someone into drawing an aft engine, V drive, sun deck aft utility with the rest of the boat open for a massive amount of seating.

Someone already has, and I think Dave has a set of the drawings. I bet he'll be chim'n in soon as he sees that post.

This is me waiting with as much patience as I can muster.

I think Dave said he was going to be out of town or out of touch for a while.

You are right, I forgot about that.

He's looking for a bathroom in the woods... Hopefully to catch a bear sitting there with toilet paper. lol

So any new findings about the subject??

Im thinking of doing this to my Tahoe 24'6" I wanna go with a Mercruiser. Still don't have the motor tho :s

There's just so little room to be had over the engine that it's a real challenge. Best I could muster is that you have to move into the taller boats (Belle Isle or Biscayne), and you deal with the motor cover when you get to it. The Tahoe really has as little as 1.5" above the engine to the deck beams, and the padding would need to be inset into the deck at least flush, as it'd look wonky above the decks. Tahoe has less space between the tailshaft of the engine and the transom, so the Florida style mod is really, really tough on that hull.
