      Thanks guys.

      Scott, the sad thing is that even tough I layed a layer of glass cloth from the transom to the neck of the sponsons, the hatch is still about 6 times thicker than the hull! It honestly blew me away when I saw the quality and finish of the hatch first hand. I cant say enough about how happy I am to see a boat that has been sitting on my shelf for over 2 years, will finally be seeing water again soon. And it was all because I looked in this thread

        Awesome! I strive for quality and perfection. If Im not happy w/ something, it gets re-done, etc, etc. Too many times Ive orderd something and got it and thought, What the.... this is nothing like the picture or ad said. Then dissapointment sets in and you are upset about that part of your project. I cant tell you the amount of hours and money that went into getting me to where I am with these. Ive sold quite a few and still need to sell quite a few to break even. And the painted ones... theyre getting easier but still so time consuming. Its funny how you can do somethign for yourself 100 times and never have an issue, then you try and do something for someone else and all hell breaks loose. Anyway, sorry for the rambling, Im extremely happy that you are so pleased w/ it. makes me feel like Im doing what I hoped to accomplish. Each part keeps getting better and better. Ive been itchin to make myself a new one, since mine was the prototype #1 and is no where near a clean and nice as what Im doing now. I feel Im really getting it dialed. Oh and Raf, can you tell what this might be... (SEE PIC)

                  Yes the paint is in house. My garage to be exact.. just ask the Mrs about the fumes.

                  Heres the thread on the hatches (BJ26), the geico hatches are not yet in production for the same reason I cannot make any BJ hatches for the moment.

                  Its all in here http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=18856 Production should resume in a week or so.
