I love that scoop on the hatch.

Thanks Coop:bigthumb:
It can put a put a smile on your face when an old pro tells you it's looking good.

Do I need to extend the deck lines all the way up to the top of the cowl or are they far enough up to tie them together now. I know the big ridge on the cowl needs to be blended into the smaller ridge on the deck. I am doing away with the ski eye and it's mounting point will be where I start to blend them together. Didn't really care for the ski eye sticking up there anyway.
Thanks for looking!

I think the lines are almost perfect, less is more. Just finish up what your doing with the center ridge and she should great.

Coop and Bliz thanks for the help on the deck lines. I didn't want to mess with running them on up anyway :thumb:

Check out this sick and twisted air scoop! You just gotta love jet boaters. You know what they say, Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

Sick Air Scoop

It's not my scoop , it belongs to Ambusher over on S&F. He is not far from you over in Charlotte NC. The thread is under East Coast Hotover Spots. Red you need to go to Thunder on the James next year. You would have a blast!

Nice vids that's for sure.
I ran across the Miss V clip over on Scream & Fly or Hotboat. It was funny because some dude was asking for the naked version:banana:

Oh boy I was the high bidder on this set of new take off high performance manifolds over on Ebay. :cheers
The Kodiak High Performance Manifolds are like the Imco or Stainless Marine manifolds. They are dyno tested over 500 hp so they should flow way better than my old log manifolds. I can't afford what I really wanted so I hope this set does a good job.
