I've started making enough Echoes to think about improving my boat. However, I'm a bit torn between better weaponry or saving up and buying a shiny new engine.
Advice from experienced captains very welcome!

The caminus yards heart ender (i think that's the harpoon one) is definitely the first major purchase you should make right now

My tuppence - put it in weapons first. It makes it so much easier to kill beasties, which will in turn net you rewards that will help drive profits. Bigger engines, while they help you get from A to B faster (reducing terror) burn more fuel - so cost more money to run. When I upgraded my engine, I found myself worse off cash-wise, and grinding harder to keep afloat. Bigger guns, on the other hand, felt like Christmas.

Definitely weapons first, especially something that fires harpoons. Much easier to kill beasties that way which increases your chances of getting some very nice loot. Western Angler Crabs, for example, can drop everything from hunger reduction up to Captivating Treasures. The Iron boost from the 1000 echo items is well worth the investment.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Yep, definitely the two Caminus Yards +20 guns. As already noted, bigger engines burn more fuel, and the speed boost isn't that impressive.

On the lock box, Id love it to add to storage space too, just 5 or 10 would be a good option.

I believe it was mentioned, but because I think it is currently one of the most interesting stories in the game...
If you haven't already, play through the Magician's story. It explores Parabola, induces a mild fear of being attacked by snakes living in your mirrors, and nets you an excellent officer and a rather good engine if you're lucky (or persistent, should you choose to replay the ending until the right Magician returns...) All in all, a great way to improve your vessel.
