Anybody else notice that when they open their hatch to get fenders out after a long run that it is HOT in there?? I am running two big blower motors and it just seems like the three little vents on each side arent nearly big enough to get enough air in for motors of that size. I noticed that on the new 42 on the Cig web site there are big louvers installed in the hatch. My motors run cool and oil temps are good but it is just the ambiant air temp that i am wondering about.

Thank you, the boat runs amazing, everytime i take it out i like it more and more. The gps recall shows 121 but ive never really let it run out and played with the trim. Usually just cruise around 80 at 4k rpm with a couple quick bursts up over 105.
