Thanks man. The bottom of the hatches still look kinda funky. I was worried about the weight with those hinges. While just about perfect in design for what I need, they aren't overly strong. They are at maximum capacity right now and if I shake the boat around, they will let the outer hatches fall. The center ones are perfect. They hold great. I think I'm going to add another set to the outer hatches though. Then I can do some trim panels for the bottoms. I just had him slap some carpet on them for now to get it up and running.

I'm trying to get there dude. It's probably gonna be next week though.

[NICKYPOO]

Added more hinges. Much, much better. I think they're gonna work out fine.

Boat runs. Though take some outside shots to get some perspective.

Truly a professional job, Nicky. Looks better than factory. Though it's gonna be a bit painful sitting on those exposed pumps....

[NICKYPOO]

Thanks man. I think it turned out alright. There's are couple more small details I need to fiddle around with but, she's ready for sea trials.

Those pumps are more comfortable than they look.

Nice job! For such as small area the casual passerby would have no idea the amount of work that went into that "sun pad". It blends right in and looks factory, a regular transom activity center you have there
