do the forward legs of the T-top have sail track welded to them so you could put side curtains?
I didnt see any
that is a very narrow boat. you will need to probably run side curtains out from the top down to the gunwales. which will limit you from getting to the bow.
Most people I know...

At the top of the forum are the stickies. Look at 4th sticky down, then go to links 14, 15, 18, 2,3,4 in that order

Put a cover over the boat after you winterize. The scuppers will freeze with any condensation. Then any moisture (rain, snow, etc) will simply fill things up

you want the oil filter bypass to control if it filters or not. if your remote lines are cold and long, you can run the motor for hours and not have oil flowing to the filter. where if the bypass on the block guarantees oil flow to the filter, then it is up to the filter to bypass or not...
Every engine block on the planet, marine, truck, automotive, etc. has a block mounted bypass valve. the factory GM blocks is 11 psi. when running a remote filter, it is suggested to change the block bypass valve to a 30 psi unit.
for your SBC, its in the filter boss.
