Dan, if you want vents like I had made, I can put you in contact with the guy. Could do custom "Carpe Diem" die cut too.

Ah! I was thinking you were looking to custom make some.

Have you checked Eddie Marine. I think they have that style.

Hi Dan , I went from the No 3’s to the No 5’s and boat ran better and faster. Handling improved even around the dock go figure . I agree given you have boxes the notch may be less effective . You may want to reach out to Gary Kolofski he also put a notch in his flat deck and ran it on boxes .
i get the No 6 argument but if they are not dry sump I am not sure how much faster the boat will be given additional weight and parasitic drag . I painted my transom black best thing I ever did . I am a fan of a white bilge way more to keep clean but I like the look better . In any event good luck with the project I know you will kill it . Cheers RG.

Dan,
Curious as to what performance gain you expect ? Would it be in overall boat handling or top speed or both ?
