Project Spotlight: From Outdrive to V-Drive. The Sea Harvester Episode 1: Lengthening The Hull. 

Thanks for watching!

Good question, I will add that to the description. It's a QSB 6.7 425HP

I'm not sure, but he did actually change from a single prop to duo prop.

@Aluminium workboat project Jets are inefficient up to cruise compared to props. Imagine the simplicity of fixed shaft surface drive.

@Juha Tuomala the surface drive performs well at low speed, as th prop is totally immersed. All these drives have their applications

Tony, these videos are part of our project spotlight series which is more "look at what we did." We do have a "How To" series, but honestly we don't produce enough content for that series. Mainly because of lack of time and resources, these projects are already happening and it's easy to shoot whats already going on in the yard. Setting up a how to video takes more time. As our channel grows, it becomes more apparent that we need to devote more resources. I'll be trying to make more how to's in the future. Thanks for the comment, stay tuned!

It's hard to say exactly how many man hours. Renee has been working on this pretty steady for about a month. Frank has been in and out, juggling multiple projects, mostly working on another boat. Initially pulling the engine, laying everything out and cutting the stern was probably about a week for Frank and Tim. Then about a month of Renee building molds, laying up, sanding , laying up, sanding, building molds repeat. It's time consuming to build up all that structural glass.

@@SeaboardMarineIncVideos Thanks... working steady for a month is good enough.
