Yesterday I took a sea trial on a nice working lobster layout DE.
Beautiful boat.
Solid glass hull, composite top. Open starboard side. ALL plywood/2X4 wood frame construction.
The engine is hard mounted to the stringers, no muffler, no engine insulation, jack shaft forward, two big pumps off the shaft.
The vibration throughout the boat was very very annoying.
Bottom line for me...."Scratch a hard mounted, non insulated, no muffler, plywood construction DE off my list of choices."
FWIW,
