Re: Hatch Scoops
Roots blowers are tight in a 251. Looks like you have a 253, not sure how they fit. This is a pic of mine before I bought it. Previous owner had monster power.... Triple digit speeds.
The rear seat was moved forward 2 inches, the bulkhead behind the seat had to be cut for belt clearence, and a scoop was added. When I bought it he put in a small block to keep his motor for a cat. I didn't like the hood scoop so I cut it off. Luckily he gave me the originial hatch cover pad that was uncut.

I don't have any pictures of the hood scoop before I hacked it off. I just didn't like it in the way. I'd much rather had my girl in a bikini laying there catching some sun..

Shah Mat,
If you were referring to me, my boat is a '99 259 Convincor. My hatch and part of the back seat are 1 piece.

Sorry, I was actually referring to RJBBC.
I didn't know they had a one piece back seat and hatch. You have any pics of the setup? Everytime I have to do anything associated with the front of the engine the words contortionist, gymnast, and bat (sleeping upside down) come to mind.

Re: Hatch Scoops
Shah Mat,
I took this short video about a month ago when I finished installing a set of Eddie Marine hatch hinges. Obviously, at the time, I didnt get to put the interior back together. You have to love the speed at which the hatch operates now.
I am thinking of not telling my wife, maybe I can catapult her off the sundeck when she pisses me off.

We have a 2000 259 Convinvor. Our hatch (sunpad and rear seat back) are also one piece. May be difficult to move foward with this type hatch.

Re: Hatch Scoops
Dave,
Yeah, you're right. However, she does come if its not too hot, not too cold, not too sunny, not too cloudy, mid-week, promise not to go over 40 mph, not hit any waves, buy her lunch on the water..... lets see, have I forgotten anything?? What a pain in the ass.. But as you said, most times its better without them.
