Dave, You are very right, and making a boat raw water would start to add other expenses and time factors, would the boat, boat needed craning in and out while the hull is being drilled, while the boat is out is it worth doing the blacking. Most modern engines (no doubt someone knows differently) are nearly all Skin tanks! if someone is going from a raw water to a skin tank, then would you not lift the boat to remove old skin fitting a weld a plate if possable. What I also missed off was if you change the engine to a new modern engine most likely gearbox be wrong, prop would be wrong. At the start, what I was really trying to do say is the peice of string is as long as you want to make it. How much do you want to change. Moose

It heats the calorifier after cooling the engine,and then gets chucked back out into the cut.Dave__________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
