Yes its pretty bling and expensive but it also adds some manuvering room around the engine compartment.
Yep a west coast thing for sure.
I always wondered what would happen if one of the rams failed??

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Just my opinion Funk. They look too complicated for durability.

Well yes it does take some planning to mount the Dana auto-hinges.

But the results are pretty stunning to me.

Standard external hinges are rock solid and easy to install.

Yes generally any hidden hinges are harder to install but good looking like the trunk lid of your car.

Dana hinges are hidden and hydraulically actuated. They look great but for every cool feature there can be a downside....like a dead battery or a fluid leak on one side only!

Rick
1)Any chance of doing the hatch scoop bezel polished instead of powercoated white for mine?

2)Possibility of a plate with slots cut in instead of wide open?

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Look me up in about two months. We'll go for a ride! :D

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Gary,
Anything is possible with the scoop bezel. It all comes down to $$$$

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

You're on! :)

First and only one on the left coast I'm sure! Cool!

July-ish ?

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Most likely! Once the boat gets here, we'll be puting the monster motor in her. :drink:

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Rick, Tom...
Ive come to the conclusion....I saw the aluminium trim for the hatch scoop and Im gonna leave well enough alone. I will powdercoat the piece silver though...

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Monster motor? means monster outdrive.
What's your plan? Imco, Teague, Merc?...

As the Y2k bottom already has a notch in it can I assume there will be no extender box?

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Gary..........I was thinking the same thing........."LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE"..............WHEN DOES IT STOP . :rolleyes:
