Exactly, its a one piece hatch. We´re also thinking of a sollution of separating the hatch from the rear seat but we´ll see what happens.
I will actually have the engine in 2 days and then I will be able to measure exactly. I bought the engine from Cobra Power in Fl.
I wish I could upload some picture for you guys to see, when I tore down the transom I found traces of the first TRS setup. The transom had ALOT of old holes in it that I had to fix.
I also had to sand down the gelcoat on the transom hull and found layers of old paintjobs. Seems like the boat was all red from the beginning, then painted dark blue.
The wierd thing is that the previous owner seems to have run the boat without trimtabs? I will definately drive the boat with trimtabs.
Highvoltage, what boat did you buy? Do you have pictures of it?
