This boat is not a deep-V type of boat and it's light weight. It doesn't sit deep enough in the water to allow a bow thruster, but it's hull form and weight will allow easy maneuvering at the dock anyway, so you don't need one.
As far as where to put something like a generator, the first answer is "where it is well ventilated!". The second answer is "Give me a general layout and I will plug it into the CG analysis and will help you fine tune your boat for best trim". I'll help any builder of a GA perform layout analysis for weight and balance so the boat's CG remains in an appropriate envelope and so that the boat trims out properly. As you progress, ideas will change along the way, but I am happy to work with you on it... repeatedly, and especially for the heavier items (appliances, fuel storage, water storage, powering options).

Ok lets start with what I want to have on boat from heavier stuff.
400 liters of fuel, about 100 gallons split in 2 tanks
100 liters of water, about 25 gallons
100 liters aquarium for live baits, about 25 galons
2 x 115 hp evinrude e-tec 2 x 400 lbs seat back from transome 26"
1 x 15 hp evinrude e-tec 150 lbs seat back from transome 26" ( in the middle of two 115s)
honda EU 3.0i generator 66x45x54cm 61 kg so it is around 135 lbs
2 x Steca PF 166 refrigerator/ freezer 2 x 60 kg equals 270 lbs
batteries 4 x 230 Ah arround 200 kg it is around 440 lbs
I think that all from heavy stuff if I forgot some important thing please warn me.
