Hatch for function. Scoops are good for race but cumbersome for pleasure especially if you like the ladies!!!

Re: my bimmer boyz.....
no scoops. A hatch would make it more of a sleeper, The scoops would give it away. Can you just raise the hatch a little? Then figue a way to pipe air to them from the sides. P.S. when we going to see paint on that one,and where is it going?????

Tough call. I guess it depends on what the owner wants to do with the boat for the majority of the time.
I like both 'looks' that you have done so far; in the attached pics.

Re: my bimmer boyz.....
Those bolt ons are alot higher than mine.I like the raised hatch instead of the scoops=less transom candy on the sun pad.

Re: my bimmer boyz.....
Is the 700 boat going to have a bolt on swim platform? I like the raised center hatch like the 675KE boats had, but the whole sunpad is hardly usable for all day rafting and relaxing. I know plenty of folks that make do with the scoops like the 720T boat for an all-day cockpit/rafting experience.
If it were my boat, I would go toward a hybrid effect. My suggestion would be to start a second level of the sunpad at the point where you already put in the seam and the main cross support. At this point, it is laid up fiberglass all the way to the back of the hatch, and it slopes off with a curve toward the transom and swim platform. The entire front of the second level would be vertical, or somewhat beveled down toward the cockpit/backseat, and in this front "face" there would be air intakes for the bigger motors.
Basically it would be a vinyl sunpad built over scoops, that would follow a natural curve down to the back of the boat, and it would be all covered in vinyl, and strong enough that you don't have to puss yfoot around. Unfortunately, its going to add some weight, but the RadioActive type hatch, while functional and pretty, looks a bit delicate, and throws off some of the sharp lines.
You asked.
Rich, do you have any pics of the custom hatch work on Don & Geri's boat? That's another idea.
