ABSTRACT:
A system and method is disclosed for mounting an engine into the hull of an inboard power boat. A plurality of mount elements comprised of a synthetic composition material are mounted athwart the hull and between stringers which extend lengthwise of the hull. Each mount element is formed with a mid-portion which generally conforms with the contour of the inner surface of the hull bottom. The mount elements have end portions formed with saddles which seat into cut-outs formed in the stringers. Bonding putty and fiberglass are used to integrally bond the mount elements to the hull and stringers. The engine is attached through brackets to the mount element end portions so that load forces from the engine are divided into components which are distributed across the hull and stringers.
