    Hell Steven, why not add it to your inventory --- after you see on a hull of course! As light as they are it would probably save you money in shipping! How much more would 4 or 5 cost?

      Thats the plan, but I want to test one first.

          That would be awesome! I really think they'll add to the popularity of the Mean Machine. The hull handles great, but the cowl is just a bit too much.

            New MM Cowl

            Pic of Mean Machine cowl/hatch plug prep.

            As you can see much better for applying hatch tape and also gives a much better overall look of your M/M cat.

            One of our local race club members wanted a hatch that was user friendly and came up with this design for his M/M cat.

            My mold is ready to produce some hatches if anyone is interested.

            Epoxy glass lay up with white base coat and finished with 2 pac clear.

            My price is $25.00 aud + Shipping.

            Shipping will be,

            Air mail = $15.30 aud
            Registered = $20.50 aud


            Registered is the way to go as there is a way of tracking the package.

            Guys,

            Shipping costs in red.

                    That is one good looking boat and car combo!

                    I saw Rob (FFRB) the weekend before last, and he had one of the first pulls from the mould. He wasn't 100% happy with it though and needs to make some minor mods to the mould. I'll see him this weekend, but he was racing interstate last weekend, so there may not be much progress.

                    The test part looked good, but unfortunately I didn't have my MM there to test fit it to. Im looking forward to getting mine so I can finish my boat properly

                          no havent got it yet, rob wasnt happy with the first ones made so he scraped them and made a few changes, then he has been away
                          he has mine done so shouldnt be far away
                          i will have to modify the hatch i think so it clears the motor, will post some pics when done
