As far as hatch (knew about the problem) ended up cutting hatch breathers stick out 3" at the back spaced the pad 3/4"let the cushon hide the rest didnt look bad at all. Will be working on cleaner look hatch this summer.......anybody got any Ideas

You will probably need to build a raised hatch. My factory hatch also has pans underneath for additional clearance, with no scoops to clutter the sun pad. I can send you detailed pics if you need them or I'll be in Destin for 4th July weekend. Come on by at Crab Island and check it out.
I'm surprised at your low RPM performance with 3-blades turning inward. Sounds like its got plenty of potential. The paint looks great.
