Engine bed for inboard-powered boats
 An engine bed for locating an inboard engine in a powerboat hull and for transferring static and dynamic engine loads to load-bearing stringers formed integrally in the stern portion of the hull. The engine bed includes a transverse beam extending between the stringers under the forward motor mounts of the engine. Longitudinal flanges, formed integrally in the beam ends are rigidly secured to the stringers by through-bolts. The forward motor mounts of the engine are rigidly fixed to the beam at points spaced inwardly from the flanges.
