Ouch, that really sucks but I'm glad nobody got hurt. The paint job really looks great. I noticed the graphic on the side resembled the rear decal on my old 2006 Baja. Very cool touch. Hope things go good getting the boat fixed and that your on the water in no time.

Damn that blows!!! No pun intended. I have lost a cockpit cover on the interstate and almost caused a major wreck. Luckily my misfortune only required a few canvas patches after a semi ran over my cover.
Sorry for the set back and good luck with the project!

For all you Baja owners out there I would like to tell you what happened on the way home Today.I didn't have my cockpit cover on because I didn't want the fresh paint job being slapped by the canvas.Any way long story short the wind was blowing in excess of 30 mph and the lag screws that hold down the hatch actuator on my engine cover /sunpad to the stringer pulled out and my sunpad blew off and skidded down the interstate then was hit by a semi!!!!!The hinges on the sunpad slapped back on the upper part of the stern and f***ed my new paint job before they pulled out of the sunpad base.Thank God no one was hurt and it's something that can be fixed..Customryder will fix my paint for me as he is the best painter in Paducah,Ky by far!! Im hoping Dave at XT will come to my rescue on the Interior and Engine hatch/Sunpad repair.Anyway going to bed,Ive had enough excitement for 2 day's..Hank36
were about a bazillion witness's.....it definetly does suck

Boat looks great, Mitch has always exceeded my expectations, could quite possibly be the nicest 36 outlaw ive seen, that sucks about the hatch, seen that happen on the water before, not a fun ordeal, good luck getting her back together
