Post Pics of your Hatch with scoops
 

I am trying to decide what way I would like to install scoops on my engine hatch. I need clearance and decided to go with scoops. I just need to think about what scoop to use and placement ie.. facing forward or backward, or getting a scoop that has a rear cutout. Lets see what you have and what kind of scoop it is. Most have mentioned facing the scoops to the rear for noise reasons and to keep water out. This will be on my Formula 357.

Thanks

a few

True!

Wish I had a better pic.

I have a 382 hatch with scoops I am taking off and replacing. See thread in Formula section for pics. Audiofn has first dibs if it will work for him, otherwise available if it will work for you.

How is the noise in the cockpit with the forward facing scoops?

I have only seen rear facing scoops on some fountains and a 399 Skater V but there is probably more boats with them. don't know the reason for it.

Couple more

I think hood scoop are sweet, but my lady will not let me buy a boat with them. I imagine a lot of other owners wives feel the same..... which could hurt the resale value. Love the boats with two different engine hatches - one with scoops, another with the sunpad. Just my .02

Maybe time for a new lady :). My old boat

Here is mine:

Here is a few

We run rear facing scoops on the race Boat becasue going out of the inlet to Point Pleaseant is never a dry one.

Here R mine along w/ George!!:doggy: I have 3!!!!

The pic I posted of the Tiger was a buddies boat. Has twin Teague 1000's in it. We ran that thing in the SCOPE Long Beach poker run and were running weeeeeeell over 90 (into the blowers) for almost the whole trip. I was standing in the back on the starboard side and at the end of the 100 mile run I couldn't hear out of my left ear...Just a loud ring...Lasted for 4 days!

Hope that answers your question.

Here's a pic from the actual run.

Here are a couple more.

Thanks, I like the look of them facing forward, but dont want to be deaf the week after.

Anyone have noise experience with rear facing scoops?

RedDog382,

I like the looks on that Formula. Do you know what brand of scoops those are?

Here are a couple of pics of our scoops. There is also a picture here that shows the plugs we made for them.

Here is a short video that shows the scoops as well.

We run rear facing scoops.

I can hear the blower whine, but the exhaust is louder.

Ours are open front and rear !

Fast Fun,

How is the noise in the cockpit compared to running them forward?

The noise (from the scoops) is not objectionable.

Here's mine.........:D

Here...

Honestly, i really dont know, its a canopied race boat.
But i have ridden in the back seat of multiple skaters with front scoops and I really cant tell much difference.

One of the best rooster tail shots of all time. :cool:

Thanks Johny,

Just have to get the paint matched now and start fabbing the hatch.

I need to get the screen inserts for them now. Anybody know where to get a set of the inserts to fit these scoops?

How about a revival of an old thread...

I have been busy for the last couple of years and have not had a chance do do anything on the boat. i have the scoops almost ready for the hatch. Just have to get the pinstriping finished on the letters and numbers. Does anyone have the grill inserts on the scoops, or should I just get some polished expanded aluminum and cut to fit?
