This is corect! The earlier Tsunami editions (circa 1973) Did NOT have the aluminum Framed boxes that deflect the water.The 1973 Tsunami's had the rear AND front vents facing aft.

By 1977, possibly earlier the front vents were "framed" and pointed to the bow (As shown in the below pics). We have had the Aluminum rectangular frames and forward facing vents from the first day we got the boat and we bought it new.
