If not I'd support it on the keel . After all this you don't want to be putting hooks in your bottom .
good point! Have to figure that out before engine install 👍 quess how many hours i took to make the bottom straight, there was quite a bit hook, now it is slightly rocker 1 feet from the transom. Really scared of how this hull performs, we will see.

There are 2 things i dont understand in your pictures... first, dry to transom... where is the water from your top exhaust riser going? And if the answer in no where, water eont circulate thru the engine ! And your dry dry smaller exhaust tubes, if there is no water at all cooling them, i would be effraid for heat and rapid fire of the whole boat!!
so, what am i missing?

Exhaust hoses are missing in the picture, water comes out of the riser to the exhaust hose, just like in 99% of the inboards.

Nice job on the project, it’s looking really nice! Way to hang in there turning your dream into reality. I love the paint selection, we bought our boat years ago because of the simple clean and classic look...........it almost identical to what you choose, but in navy blue.
