    scoops on a cat

    how tall should the tall snorkle scoops on a 34" cat be? like the ones on the Maritimos.
    such as this one:

      You building some or hunting?

      Upon quick scaling from photos I'd go with 50mm or so Jesse.

            these ARE scoops from Kintec, I just think they are a large.
            I don't have measurements cause I haven't found a good side view of a real one to get the proportional height.
            Here she is before trimming down the scoops.
            I am thinking closer to the top of the canopy... anybody with a good side view of a 1:1 cat? (and not the feline version...)

              How about some Naca Ducts? I installed these on my 45' Twin Lazer to let a good amount of air in.

                I found the following full-scale racing cats with scoops.

                  Thanks Jay, you had a good suggestion about cutting down to the top of the canopy.
                  Now to fill with foam and cut down... I'll post up the result.
