That looks fantastic. Only problem is, the hatch on the boat is already the raised blower hatch, so I would have to start from scratch

This is certainly giving me some ideas!

Corey, I don't guess your blowers would fit under the new style raised hatch used on the later model Guns? Those are very nice looking units but don't know if they would give you enough room.

I don't own a gun yet, trying to talk the wifey into one

I was wondering about the later style hatch, but I still think the blowers in a couple of the guns I am looking at create too much height, thus needing scoops. Both boats I am looking at now have the tall blower hatch, and the wifey won't consider it. I can't totally blame her since thats her favorite area on a boat.

The Mirrorplex is held on with a special adhesive, looks like silicone but made to not lift the mirror backing. Daytona Plastics sells it along with the mirrorplex. I like the Hatch Glass Dave made. How much does the Glass Dave Hatch weigh?
