Default 2600 owners, I need your help!!

Hey guys, I recently purchased an AO 2600 hull a few months back and have been steadily working on it to get it wet for the summer. I purchased the boat less motor and drive and have since purchased both and am almost ready to put back together. The only other major thing the hull was missing is the rear hatch/bench combo. I have tried to contact AO to see if they can pop me a new one but have not had any luck. I am to the point where I am going to have to try and build my own, this is where you guys could help me out. Since I never had the hatch I do not know the demensions of it, I know I could take some measurements and try to get it exact that way, but I figured I would post here first. I am asking for anyone with a 2600 (non NSX) could take some pics of your rear hatch and seat combo, open from the sides as well as underneath. Also any measurements would be a great help! There are no local AO 2600 owners around me so this is my last option before trying to make one from scratch. Thanks in advance for the help!! Hoping to get her on the water soon!!

Contact Xray50 here on OSO, he has one, and could probably get you some pics/measurements.

I also think XRay50's boat is an NSX.

Is there no more original 2600 owners around any help out there would be greatly appreciated!!

The measurements I am looking for are for a hatch combo like this one. Bench and hatch are in one unit. Thanks again!

JBrock,
I have the same engine cover on mine, If i can I will do some drawings this weekend.
And per your previous post the 2600 hull is a splash of the 25 Talon, so is Firehawk, Conquest, Raysoncraft, Howard & more.

Thanks for the offer, but no need. I have since become in contact with the factory, and they are going to pop me one from the original molds.
