Looks good. In pictures one and three, I like the shelving for spare parts, etc. Someone made use of some good space.

In picture # 2, I see you have an electrical outlet in the engine room. (right next to your fuel lines too) Pretty sure it's not to ABYC standards for a gasoline boat.

Not sure if that's your boat or Ricks...

Just be careful...

Heiner, I see you have two different ignition coil setups on your engines. The port one looks to be the old style GM coil, and the Starboard one looks to be an aftermarket replacement one. Are you going to be upgrading the ignition system as part of your work, or are you leaving it this way. I only ask because I am thinking of upgrading to breakerless ignition and I am curious about the different options available.
