There was something odd about the vents on this boat. We didn't have a clue what one of the previous owners was trying to accomplish.

If you look closely at the before pic you can see most of the vent area is actually blocked. Someone put a redish orange looking duct tape over the vent holes in the fiberglass then put the vent covers over it. They left one hole in each vent uncovered. We can't figure out what they were trying to accomplish.

Idk trying to make it show red through them I guess. Seems to me the more air flow the better?

Water will get in your bilge from those rear vents. When backing up in any waves, or coming off plane. Not the best design. Buck, your boat looks to have vents on the side of the hatch, which isn't stock and could be why they were blocking the rear ones.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I remember Carter and possibly Vincent speculating that may be the reason for someone covering them up. I also remember them saying they had never had that problem on any of the other Bullets they had owned. I do realize this boat may have spent some time on the Great Lakes and that is a completely different environment than what we run in.

congrats on youre new adventure . glad youre wants finally arose it must be quite exciting at this point for you.. keep them pics coming :-]

Pictures...c'mon man. Hook us up.

Clear your PM's out buck.

Done.

Buck, this is not a threat so don't take it that way, but I am (have been) working in TX for the last year and a half, I'm going to finally have a slow weekend. People won't probably notice if I'm here or not - so I may have to make a run and get my own pictures (means I cannot work on my own boat if). Just saying you won't like me if I have to come and get my own pictures...promise that, but most people don't like me anyhow. Oh by the way this project ends in Mar, but I have got to come back for months to come...months. I can adjust my travel...if I have to...and you won't like me if I have to adjust my travel.... Not a threat. Hope things keep moving along great. Can't wait for more pictures.
