Engine Hatch Redesign
#11
22 Eliminator Daytonas had similar hatches to yours and I never did like them. Not a big fan of the humped up type hatch. Just looks out of place. On my buds 21 daytona jet he went with 2 half hatches that go around the motor/headers/blower vs over it. It looks much better than the hump. I believe they are hinged to open toward the sides of the boat and are easily removable. I will try to dig up some pics

I like the flush look. Your headers would have to poke thru but is beats the "add on" look of the hump

This is more in line with what i pictured in my minds eye . Flows nicely with the lines of the boat instead of looking like some kind of nasty growth . Yea , due to my low freeboard part of my headers will also show . Boat kicks up a lot of mist on the stern so i need something that will allow for runoff . I've got to keep it easy for the wifey to get to the swim platforms also . She'll be able to grab a handful of header on the way past....
Thanks guys and keep the ideas coming . deep

Thats looking more like what You need. Add the shape of you beautiful boat an add a spoiler on the back for back wash. An add for Your rear seats to match Your hull. Wish I was there to help You build one. I was told I was making a trip to just south of Pittsburgh after turky day. Dropping off some trucks. Won't be there long. It would be nice to meet You if that could happen.
