Do you want me to ship it Fridayish? I will box it up the day before and get a shipping quote. As I had mentioned to you, so far the things Ive sent to Canada 'eh" havent been much different in pricing as if I were to have shipped it in the states. Heck, I shipped parts to Canada that were less expensive for almost the same thing to California. Although, to Canada is just a standard shipping. Once you go expidited it doubles the price.
Once I get the shipping quote, Ill request payment. Until then Im not worried about it and to be clear, you on the original price.Comment

Looks like your is "out for delivery" in your townAwesome Scott. I actually ordered the stock one before you "came back" into production, so I'll use it for a spare. I can run the DF29 and Jae21FE this weekend, but looking forward to getting your creation. You've got funds! Thanks for your diligence and efforts for all of us.
Oooohh, and so is yours!

Scott, honestly I would have paid $60 for the hatch. I don't know how much you're making on them versus how much each one costs you to make, but they are definitely worth the money. I guarantee you that if you put these on eBay for $60 plus $10 for shipping they would sell.
I went to the LHS and they had 2 stock hatches in stock. I almost bought one to save myself the downtime in painting it as to not run with a yellow boat and white hatch. But then I thought of the million Geicos on the water and the cheap build of the stock canopy. Why buy a stock replacement? It will just break anyways. If people want to keep the "Geico" theme they can ether paint the boat as a whole with as close of a Geico color as they can find or paint it all white or to their liking. It's not your fault the hatches break and Horizon made it impossible to match the color! All I know is that unless the water gods take my lid I will not have to worry about getting stupid with the Castle 2650 and having my boat blow over only to break another stock canopy. I know this one will take it an laugh
If people don't like your price they can go buy a stock canopy and when that one breaks and they still have to buy one of yours they will wish they had bought your in the first place.....I guarantee it!
Oh, and I agree with ray. I will not run the tupperware lid ether. I believe the designer added the tupperware lide with knowledge of the crappy canopy breaking and possible flooding the boat. With your lid there is no need to run the inside lid, unless one don't trust their own tape job. I rather have flotation in my lid too.Last edited by JackBlack26; 04-11-2011, 01:40 PM.Comment

Thanks for the kind words Rafael. Thats another option I may look into, adding some float to them, as long as folks are willing to run w/ out the tuperware. I think you bring up a good point. Why is the tupperware lid there in the first place, non of my other boats have one. I agree, they knew the factory hatch was fragile. I find it hard to believe in all the testing they may have done, one did not break.Scott, honestly I would have paid $60 for the hatch.

Ha! I'm sure it broke and they sank a boat!! They probably looked at quality control personnel and said, "Now what?" LOL!!
I would say don't add the flotation. Let people do it on their own because if someone chooses to run a 4074 or 3674 motor, which you can now do with your lid(
), it may interfere with the length of the motor. I had problems fitting the Castle 1512 in mine with the lid and the way the wires come out of the can. Don't have to worry anymore.
I say sell them how they are and let people figure out what works for them I'm going to shoot mine with a little medium expansion foam.

Scott,
Got my hatch yesterday! All I can say is...AWESOME! It was better than I expected and is a true fiberglass replica of the stock hatch. Well worth the money imho. I agree with JB26 I would have paid more for it. Keep up the great work and again a big THANK YOU for taking the time and investing the money to get this done. If my repair job comes out like I hope on my new damaged hull Geico I will be putting in an order for another one. Leaning towards the Cintron theme.Go Fast...Turn Right...

Awesome thank you. Im glad your happy with it. Bottom line, thats all I really want. Yeah, the hatch I feel is cool. But even better is positive remarks about it. So thank you.
Whats wrong w/ the Geico? Was it one of the snow crash boats?
I just read something in the "how many boats" thread

In the near future Im going to start working on some scoops. Id like to do some just as in the Cintron pic, which is just a slight mod of the existing and some like that are on the KOS C-1. So keep an eye out, I will keep the thread up to date as they become available. Im also currently working on a hatch w/ no scoops so that any kind can be added or left blank.Comment

Geico was the damaged boat Nor Cal Chris had. Here are a few pics. Damage is bad but very fixable just going to take my time on this one. I am in no rush to get it on the water. Just have to figure out my plan of attack.Awesome thank you. Im glad your happy with it. Bottom line, thats all I really want. Yeah, the hatch I feel is cool. But even better is positive remarks about it. So thank you.

Snow crash was just my Rio Ep. Here's the vid, the second to last shot I smack a tree in my front yard...serves me right. It was fun as hell though.
