I would like one but it would be after christmas, its been a very long weekend. I got the programing card and turn brakes of miss take and ended up hitting a dock not fast 10 sec into the run, I still ran the boat, got home that night and fixxed it about five hours later, next day painted, had it drying and the wind blew it off the stand, no more then 2 feed to the conctete. Nice crack in the side and chunk in the rear. Got that all fixed up last night. I decided to paint the who hull, so I clean the hull and scuffed it. I used auto primer it fill in all the defects, well it started acting with the paint I had sparyed the day before. It turned into a cracked pealing mess. So I ended up using thinner and a lot of elbow grease to strip all the stuff out. I got a decent paint job now, I kind of rushed it becasue I want to get the boat back in the water. I don't have much money to stick in it right now. I am just very worried about painting one of these, I don't have the patance or the skill it takes to make it look right.

You are very welcome Dom. Thanks for the kind words.
Ive finished the newly modified plug. I cleaned up the windshield frame (by ripping off the old one I spent 20 minutes on and making a new one I spent 2 hours on) and knocked the corner off the back of the hatch so hopefully it blends in w/ the slant on the back of the boats deck to transom. It will be ready for mold lay up in the morning. I wont get to do a part until I get back on the 30th.
Oh I also took the old mold and filled the scoop for a delete option. Im going to make a hatch, repair any blemishes where the scoop was (I filled it w/ clay so its probably not perfect) sand off the windshield frame, cast a mold of the "new frame" and put it on the old layup.

Thanks Travis. Shoot a posting over in the "products by OSE members" thread, thats my list of wants and needs from folks on the forums, and the actual sale thread. It also goes a bit more into detail about whats going on, prices etc. Its going to be a couple weeks before I can get one layed up and out. Especially if you want it painted. Ive got 3 in front of your request.

Pic without scoop?Comment

Nope Cody, as I said in the other thread, I never did one w/ out a scoop. There was no requests, so I didnt do it.Comment

Scotts lids are the business!!
Got mine in yesterday. He made mine with no window trim because I want the sleek look, like my MG. The boat still needs a bunch of work, considering it's a nitro conversion and has some damage on one of the sponsons, but at least I don't have to mess with the cheap, brittle nitro hatch any more

Getting closer on the outside. Scott, this hatch looks awesome, bro! Thanks again
Just need to sand and fill in some pin holes on the hull that came up after the first coat of primer today. It's going to end up ether with a Tecate Beer or Bud Select theme. Even though I don't drink anymore I still love beer.
