Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

I ordered two low profile hatch scoops for my 28 Daytona. Does anyone have any close-up pictures of their scoops on top and under the hatch? I'm having a local guy glass them in and cut the holes and another guy doing the vinal. Trying to figure out how to attach the vinal around scoops to keep it clean. Also looking for correct positioning and measurements? Any other helpful pointers would be appreciated... :D Thanks

I bought these from Summit 179.00 each. (Harwoods)
I reinforced them with some more fiberglass.
Painted to match then cut the holes out. and thru bolted
under the mirror on the underside of the hatch.
Didn't need to glass in because the vinyl hides it all.
I tackled all but the vinyl. I cant sew. I keep stabbing my finger
with the needle. :D

Stecz,
How come all of your pics are Cigarettes?

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Mine will be covered with vinal and cushion too. Does that mean glassing is unnecessary? I would think so, but not sure? The guy at CP said these are glass-in style scoops. Here's the ones I ordered. Anybody know if these can be through-bolted? Still looking for very close-up pics of top and underside. :D

Our Apache has Harwood scoops that are bolted/screwed in place with the top side surrounded by vinyl. I can take some new pictures tomorrow if you need a tighter close up or if you need a specific angle. Just let me know.

Here are the same pictures blown up a bit. These got fuzzy when I blew them up, but I can take some clear close up shots tomorrow if you still need them.

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Thanks Hot Duck, those look nice. I'm still wondering if the ones that I ordered can be thru-bolted? That sounds much easier and cheaper than glassing. They would need to have a lip to thru-bolt. I guess I won't know till I get them.

Kchotboat- That looks great! Did you just have your scoop installed? Locally installed by someone else or did you partake?

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Harper220: Just an idea. If the scoops that you ordered do not have flanges to bolt through, you could have a local fiberglass shop take the scoops and fabricate flanges onto the bottom edge of them. Of course, if you are gonna do that you might as well fiberglass them into place on the hatch. Then there won't be any bolt heads showing under the hatch. I think that either way would work, but glassing them into place would probably produce a cleaner looking installation. I guess that it would be best to wait and see what you have to work with when they arrive.

Boy, I am sure that this post did nothing but make you more confused. Sorry. Just thinking out loud.

I preped the scoop and painted it. Todd at Advance Canvas did the rest. He is located at LOTO.

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

I always have time for the Miami boys. The problem is getting down there to you! :D I am working on scheduling wtih Tres to get some minor odds and ends taken care of, so I will let you know when we get the dates ironed out.

That looks nice.

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

here are a couple of the hatch I made, minus the sun-pad, boat is still at the interior shop. I will post picks when it is complete

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

I did mine with glue ....

I cut the flange off , marked the hatch around the scoop , ground a notch all the way around the inside of the line , fill it with glue and set the scoop in it ..... DONE.

When I say glue , you want to use a good auto body , 2 part , epoxy . MAkes a nice neat ,quick job , if you do it right .

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

here are the scoops on my old boat... :D

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

I thought this one might pop up again !!! :evilb:

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Hardwood makes both glass-on and bolt on scoops. Glass on scoops "may" have a flange on the outside that you can bolt through ala Hot Ducks. Bolt on scoops have studs on the inside for the bolts. Not all sizes and styles are avail bolt-on. Jegs lists both.

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Here are a few of when I was having my hatch made.
I blended the scoops into the hatch.
The sun pad is recessed around the scoops.

WHAT THE...... :eek:

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Hmm..just not seeing the scoops

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

To be honest, I really don't know which type we have. I don't know if they have the flange or have the studs inside to accept the bolts. They are obviously bolted on, but I don't know exactly how it was done because the scoops were on there when we got the boat.

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

I got everything ironed out today and I will be down your way next week. We are leaving here on Tuesday or Wednesday and heading to Lauderdale. We have to drop the boat off with Tres to get some odds and ends done to get it ready for the summer. After we drop the boat off we are heading to Bradenton to drop the trailer off at Myco to have some minor things done. From there we are heading up to Orlando to take Tres' driving school on the 14th and 15th. After that we have a few days to kill before going back to pick up the trailer. Once we have the trailer we will get the boat and head home.

I would really love to stay down there for the FPC run to Key Largo on the 25th - 27th, but I think that I would really be pushing my luck to try and stay away for another 4-5 days for that. We'll see. I'll PM you my cell number before we head that way.

Okay Chad what do you have now? Nice trips!

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

VonB- LOL! it took me a while to find them too. keep looking, you'll eventually see them. :D you should see that picture from the rear... :eek:

KCHotboat- no replacement yet, but i'm still looking..... :(

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Getting a little off subject here. How about some pics of your scoops guys?? :D

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

The bolt pattern in the pics looked much larger than the scoop opening, so I guessed they were the external flange type. The "bolt on" scoops have a bolt pattern that fits inside the scoop footprint.

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

Where can I get the wire mesh looking insert that goes in the opening of the scoops like in post 25? Is this fabricated or does the scoop manufacturer make them?

Re: Anybody have close-up pics of hatch scoops?
 

check out some import sites, they stick that stuff in every honda bumper they can find.... you probably will have to cut to fit but i would think it would be pretty easy... pics when done, i have thought the same thing for my boat.... :cool:
