planning to change the scoops ..any idea
 

just received two scoops.class 1 style.planning to resize and put them on 28 skater.what do you think ? are these better?

here is the new type:

another view:

and these are the current scoops

Youwould really like the new scoops. Less parasitic drag (no big deal in offshore) but greater air velocity into the motors. It might take a while to get used to the looks, but that is personal preference. Most of this technology and design comes from auto racing. You will see this style scoop on nearly all the current Pro Stock cars. It must work.

Timicun,

What cat is that with the #6's?
Where do you source the new scoops? I have an application they might work well on.

thx.

here is all in one image:

I am thinking about the shape ,they may look non pretty on this size (small) boat?

cuut them down so they dont sit up as high, just a opinion

tachyon:
that cat is spirit of norway : 2002 c1 champion
I received the scoops from afriend who is working in c-1 organization.but the ones i have are for bigger boats. planning to resize them otherwise they will be 2 big for a 28 boat.

From purely an asthetic view, I like your current scoops much better. I like understated: Smaller or no scoops, simple or no graphics, etc.

Timicun,

thanks for the info.

Timucin,

Is that Spirit of Norway's new boat for the upcoming rules change???

I thought they ran a Tencara with BPM's powered by Lambo's?

tacyon!!! you are right.sorry for confusion but this is not spirit of norway!!!!

Timucin,

Is it the skater that Dyke/Rokke ran/abandoned this season? It was called Reverie.

probably; I mixed up when i saw the norway flag,thought it is spirit...

it has to be reverie;skater,lambos,norway flag :Kjell Inge Rokke(DRIVER),Jim Dyke(THROTTLEMAN)

It has Sterling decals...Dyke "home grew" this one from the midwest...

tachyon: it is declared as lamborghini:

Thanks again...maybe they run one of each

Timucin,
With all the work and parts you have into this thing, why not just make two sets of hatches? Then switch them out when you get bored. I think you are going to have to get in dialed in first with the original set as best you can. Then see what else you can do.

Sydwayz : thats exactly what i am going to do..

if i am not mistaken the scoop is part of an air box designe that covers the flame arester and provides a ram intake effect ,that is what jim dike was running on the new platinum boat in N.O..
are you planing to do somthing simmiler? or just mount them on the hatch?

I have the exact scoops.planning to cut them from both sides (lower & shorter)
have put it as it is ,they are too big .these cats using these scopos are 42-45 long.my boat is only 28 long.
if i only cut it from one dimension then they look funny ,height and length has to be rearranged for better look.

I like the old ones.....want to sell them?

hey dyno: :)
i already promised them to the guy who brought me the new ones.
you can get similar ones from unlimited fiber company in states.
even if i give them as present (with no money) , shipping will cost more then new ones....
