Squiggie, Post some pictures of your boat so we have some idea of the hull design.

I personally like the old school styles....I dont like the new style flame/tribal designs that seems to be the trend on the bigger boats....

Heres a few cool gel designs I like....simple and clean.

sorry about the sideways pictures...the site i took them from apparently didnt know how to rotate pictures

The third picture down, the one with the engine cover, anybody have opinions on covering the engine?  Ventilation/air flow issues??

its all about personal preference. Just make sure you vent it well.....also, you want to get a blower to vent the air. You should flip on the blower for 10-15 seconds before firing the engine so you dont ignite stray fumes and blow your cover off.

i agree i like the full engine cover as well. if you want speed then it is cool to have the out of the boat pipes but for recreation there is no reason to have something that you can burn yourself on ..hahah

USCG requires a blower for any covered engines......... just make sure that you remember to run it before you start the beast.
