            Yes. Seems that every one that builds one is impressed with how well everything fits.

                      I am suprised you didn't recess the top sheeting so the hatch will fit flush and tape better.
                      Besides that the hull came out very nice and the hatch looks great on the Whip.

                          Propper, The great thing about this hull..it really is not to expensive to buy and build, so don't worry! Let me know if you need one built, I would be happy to help.

                          Raydee, The cowling actually doesn't sit up that high, its the way I have it on the boat..the whole thing is pushed to far back. I don't know that Hugh will run this cowling forever anyways. As soon as I build my own, I am doing a prototype cowling specifically for this boat in epoxy glass, and he may want one of those..so he is flexible with it not recessed.

                            Sounds good, I might be in the market for a new hull this winter.

                              Cool man, I would be glad to help. I just finally got my workbench cleared of all build projects for clients..Now I can finish my 35" kneeler FE, Sniper tunnel FE, and Vision Craft Tunnel FE! Mike
