Thanks, Jim.
I know I'm way out on a limb with this crazy question, but is there any merit in the idea of "bleeding" air into the underside of the boattail from these vents? The air might help reduce the negative pressure and smooth the overall flow. It is just a thought, and an uneducated one at that. If there were any merit, the discharge vents would have to be handled very carefully I'm sure.

Nice load of material. Where did you buy?
