Paul, on the "other" forum, you may have noted my new acquisition, a 1964 Chris-Craft XL175 Corsair. This boat is right in the same vintage as you Skiffish boat. The XL175 has a fairly ridiculous...but cool...scoop on the engine compartment hatch. It reminds me of a pro-street hood a high-school gearhead would have added to a 71 Camaro, as it stands about 6 inches tall. The scoop opening is rear facing, and it has the exact same kind of bezel and screening material as you scoops.
