it just looks like they will hit... the tunnel extension is made after the boat is rigged and steering is checked. everything clears

it looks like the tunnel extension isn't bolted on very well it only has four small hinges and two rams the billet tab has a full hinge across the tab

i would be afraid of ripping that tab off

it also looks like the steering is limited by the thing
