Kentz, if you are talking about the round vents under the rear of the hatch yes I have 4 on one side and 3 on the other, they are about 3" in dia +-.

No, look at my picture, just above the tie-down eye. The plastic 2" vent with a flapper. There is one on each side.

Kentz. That is the scupper that from what I have seen drains water from an area in the gunnel that if had got water in it would just sit. I dont think it is for air but it might pass a little.

See this link: http://www.offshoreonly.com/forum/sh...threadid=26584

I could be wrong but I think it is for water drainage.

Ray is correct those are scupper drains. In my case with the Hydrohoist and the angle when deployed they become water intakes

O.K. that makes sense!, but if the water level ever got that HIGH with the boat in the water wouldn't it swamp?, I mean you'd have the water level 1/2 way up the blocks.

If you were sitting level in the water and taking on water through the scuppers I'd grab a life jacket and call the coast guard because it would become a submarine in a few minutes.

Look at one of my past or should say the latest rebuild post and you will see a picture of the boat going down in the lift. That is what I'm talking about

Scott, Those picts were from when it was bought, That hole and acouple of others were repaired prior to me getting the boat. I will tell you this, If you look close you can see where the repair is. There is one on my seat that after a few runs it shows up like a quarter size hole that was repaired. I guess dirt adheres to the repair more than the vinyl. I will need some vinyl work soon. I figure I might as well use it and have the kids abuse it this year. Fix it right in a couple of years.

Default Update

I found some one that can make these vents for me, The will be polished stainless steel and cut with a water jet. I am waiting on a price for two but if anyone else needs a couple let me know and I may be able to get the price down. I will let you know when I get the price. Meanwhile I have attached a link for a PDF of the final design.

Default Got a price!

If you want any they will be $50.00 each. I will have my two in in a week or so I will let you know how they look. I was also thinking of having them powder coated too.
