JC might use one of the 30' Tempest hatches. There are around 3 of them I think. They could probably be retrofitted to fit a 24. I'll have to check.

Dana Power Hinges are the most trick setup I've seen for an engine hatch.
Anodized to your spec.

Anyone know if thiers plans for the billet insert or not for the scoop?

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Tom,
It's all taken care of. JC has a billit trim ring for the opening. The one that went on the Maryland boat was powder coated white. I thought it should have been done the color of the bezels, that would have looked trick. As with most scoop openings, theres no mesh, screen or louvers. I think Gary is trying to get JC to put some kind of louver or screen on his. Polished stainless screen would look awesome in there also.

Funk,
Printed out the info for those hinges last year and gave them to JC. He could'nt believe how much they cost.

The billet opening trim would look good polished or powdercoated silver to match my gages, I think.

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

On those DANA hinges. I'll pass. I see alot of boats out here with them. Too much bling bling for me. Not to mention all the extra bushings to wear out.

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

As Rick said louvers or screen in opening. Also we were thinking perhaps to install the SUPERBOAT word in opening !!!

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Nice! I'm for the Superboat. :evilb:

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
 

Tom thats what Rick and i thought. SUPERBOAT (the word) would look great !!!!!
