I've been lurking over this thread, and I can't wait to see what the result is. Though I am reluctant to have a hole cut into my VX, I love the look and function of a snorkel. I have had my VX in some deep water (up to & over the headlights) once or twice... however, I love the fact that even law enforcement can see that the VX can get through where most others can not. A snorkel would have been a nice thing to have when it was a little deeper than it looked! I can not commit to buying one yet... $$$ (and that hole thing), but never say never!![]()
