That boat was originally in Rumson NJ owned by a Wall Street guy…I forget the name but he owned an ice cream shop in town also. Used to drive past it with my old super boat all the time on the way to the ocean around Sandy Hook

Smart cookie's ...

Up in clean air, instead of disrupting the boundry layer moving across the deck of the hull.
Old tech scoops were low and wide, lots of tumbling air went in, never settled back into a homogenous column , what didn't get used tumbled it way back out.
Modern EFI intakes (and carbureted tunnel rams) match the engine size in cubic inches. The single flap throttle bodies look to small at first glance. Until you think about the fact that not every cylinder pulls a charge thru an intake runner .. or fires all at once. It's more like a still air box .. that provides a smoothed out column of dense air to the front as well as the back wall.
