Who Does The Square Nose Hood Mod?

[seatsR4toilets]

Not trying to stir up any trouble...I'm just looking for the simple answer of who around here does the square nose hood mod so the SN doesn't totally flood out in the surf.
And, what does it cost?

So please, let's not turn this into a drama thread. :burnout:

If you don't want to do it yourself I'm sure tom21 will do it for you.

Torpedo and I did similar modifications to our hoods modifying the stock liner and breathing. I think it works great and its not a lot of work to do. Much easier than ripping the liner out. I had bad problems with water. I did my mod and it worked like a charm.

I've been meaning to stop by his shop, and I was just up in Clearwater on Friday.
Thanks, I'll PM him.

Any idea on a price?
Or how to get a hold of him?

UMM TanMan modified his SN hood with some Shop Vac hose and blocked off the front 6 holes running a piped 701 twin carb 62t and survived the Mayhem at Surf Slam 2009 !

Great thread.
Just read the entire thing.
I like your deal. Looks great.
Do you still run a bilge though?

Yeah, I remember.....that's why I my initial post was written like it was.

Did you see it for yourself?

I just ran some extra bilge hose I had laying around from the upper section in the hood to the rear for drainage. Works pretty well.

I did a couple of SN hoods in the past.
Important elements:
1. Block off the front holes and (optionally) enlarge the rear holes.
2. Tear out the stock hoodliner and replace it with a light custom liner.l
3. Use a couple of tubes to run from the liner to the bottom of the hull.

Does anybody make an aftermarket liner?

 

[Matt_E]

Blowsion does, I believe.
Let me check.

Yeah I did and I can take pic's of what he did for you if you would like unless you are being a smart ass? lol

I don't know how a SN hood is but I just made my own liner for my RN and its not hard at all.

I checked and couldn't find it. I swear, at one time you could get a Blowsion liner for the stock SN hood.

They're pretty easy to make.
