Tyson what is the torque going to be at the prop after the overdrive?
Gas motors benefit from the reduction giving and increase in torque whereas overdriving the diesels has the opposite effect.

Why didnt you do a canopy? Between the sun and possibly rain or rough seas, wont that make the trip more difficult?
I assume each "leg" there is no sleep?

Cockpit cover: Boats that go on a tilt trailer cannot use a pole to hold the center of the cover up because it could become loose and scratch up the inside of the window or interior. I decided to try a different approach and make a valley down the middle between the seats for water to drain out the back and not need a pole to hold the middle up.
Here is a pic of making the template, and the second pic test fitting the cover the material was a little loose between the front and back seats and would flap in the wind so they tailored it to make it tight. I think its going to work pretty good.
