I am blown away by this project! Congrats, thats the first I've seen like this! I didnt think there was enough room, would love more engine compartment and build pics!! Its completely understated how much work is involved in this.. "moved the dash forward a few inches", no easy feat!
I ended up moving the dash 6 inches. At some point in this boat's former life the dash was broke somehow so it didn't look to good to start with and I really wanted to get the weight distribution right.
I figured what better way than to move my fat arse forward a little.
The batteries are right in front of the liner now and CG is about 1/2 inch further forward than with outboards.

Anyone ever been on a tube behind a 24 Skater?
Keep in mind this project isn't finished, just far enough along to start to enjoy. Still need to build hatch doors and scoops, etc.

My Bridgeports were very tired and the transom was soft. Kind of got a bad taste in my mouth for outboards trying to keep the bridgeports running.
I had to buy some motors and replace a transom so I figured I might as well be different and make it easier to work on too.
I'm pretty familiar with the LS platform and all the EFI stuff.
It's taken almost 2 years to get it to this point...
