Id like to hear more about the closed loop cooling system. I know how they work on big boats. Not sure if i would have enough room for one. What do you use as a heat exchanger?
Tired doing a search on here, didnt find anything.

Dang that is nice Chip. Ive got a small flats center console in the works and then next up is my 1,2 meter Freeman boatworks center console cat. How long is that Dumas hull?
