joe, thanks for your note.  the engine I put in the pilot boat is a volvo (D1-30B).  The window in the bulk head wall was there when I got the boat.  I never saw another pilot boat and didn`t realize the window in the bulk head was not standard equip.  again thanks for reply. best al

cardinal joe, my pilot boat is a `74  it had a volvo 4cyl gas engine (25hp) in it that was froze up completely.  I installed a 3 cyl small diesel i think it is a 18 h.p. it has a white hull with red trim.  The boat is in Palm Coast FL.  the boat was bought over from New Port Beach, Calif. about 10 years ago. It appeared to have two or three owners before this sale to my friend in FL.   I now have 160 hours on the new engine. it needs alot of teak work which I don`t get to as i enjoy using it so much.  my computer skills are limited and i will have one of the grandkids help me post a pic next time they are over.  again thanks for your reply   best al
