CUSTOM FIBERGLASS VENTS
Still here, just been lurking for a while!!!
I've gone back to what I do best, tooling & design. Very little boat repair work here lately and VERY boring so I've been doing some designs to update old style vents. The first styles will insert directly into existing vent cutouts, second styles will also fit the same cutout lengthwise and require very little cutting to accept the "teardrop" shape and the third design... well , you'll see it soon as I get a page up with photo's. Any suggestions as to what you would like to see ???? Gordo, give me a call and I'll send you a few samples. Cig , come by the shop and check these out and we can discuss your new hatch design!! By the way, you can still get AQUATECH SPEEDCOAT but the end of the year forced me to fold.

PS CIG, Need HELP with new page!!!

Audiofn,
Almost forgot, these vents are dual purpose, can be surface mounted or grind flange and bond for flush mount!!

NACA= National Advisory Commitee on Aeronautics
It was the predecessor to NASA
That type of duct was developed for use on planes for air intake with little disruption of airflow across the surface-very advantageous over 700 MPH
Might come in handy on my new turbine powered paddle board
