        Thanks Jerry, they have a 2 1/2" long version as well. I think the longer ones will look cool and they fit perfectly within my hatch decals. Now I just have a 15-21 day wait to get them.....................

                  Dont rely on the self adhesive bit as they will rip off after the first flip, I stuck mine on and then applied CA glue and swirled round the inside, however i know Jerry blocked off the gap at the front and epoxied some bolts so they could be bolted through as well as epoxied inside. Personally i am in two minds as obviously i dont want them to just "fall" off hence the CA Glue, but equally i dont want them cracking or breaking in half and end up ruining the hatch for the sale of a $3 bit of plastic

                    I agree with you Matt but if it happens ill just fix the hatch or order a new one,, it was the fastest and cheapest idea i could comeup with and im happy with it cuz IT LOOKS SWEET!!!!hahaha,

                      Yea I haven't really decided how I was going to mount them yet. I will definetly make a filler piece for the inlet so it makes it harder for the water to catch and rip it off.

                        I would worry that they have the front open but not the back...when water hits them if upside down they are going to pull hard and rip off. Plug the front or something.

                          That's what I was thinking

                            Well the first run on 4s2p was aggravating to say the least. Boat ran great for about three minutes, then this happened:

                                And to top it off:




                                I was trying a new place to run. Wasn't even close to the shore and the lake was pretty deep, apparently there were some boulders right below the surface
