Yes, we mentioned that but no boat manufacturers uses that method, it is complicated. A vertical tube will be a siphon, instead we need a scoop that pushes the air in. It is much easier to have those cuts in the sides.
Now, to stay with the style of the boat, I would leave it as is as make the cuts very discreet.

Re: Flyer

can that be graphite?
The bottom should be finished with at least 3 coats of special hard racing bottom finish

Yes I know it's an abrasion resistor, but on the west website it also says it's a low friction coating that's why I was wondering if the graphite could be an alternate for the special hard racing bottom finishNewt wrote:If it'll stand up to rocks and oyster shell, why not?

Re: Flyer
one option for bottom paint
I really doubt it will do much for you more than smooth sanded graphite would - looks like it is for boats that will spend time in water
