    No thanks, even if it didn't add any weight I
wouldn't want the fire danger of the engine down in the fiberglass
hull and then how would you get airflow around the engine to cool it
and where would you put the coolers and where is the exhaust going
to go and then what a maintenance nightmare working on the engine
down in the hull.
