I think those dash plates are really going to tie it all together.

Great job with the bench.

R Addiction 04-14-2008 07:38 PM

Nice job with the cover. Might want to go ahead and reinforce the rear corners and save you a trip. Whats that pole on the starboard sid of the swim platform?

Does anybody know why they put a vent on top of the engine hatch with the little square upholstery piece on top? Curious if I could make a removable blower hatch for poker runs.

in case you have a dead battery.

TexomaPowerboater 04-18-2008 02:33 PM

Thanks.......but are you serious? The hole is only like 5 inch diameter. How could you run a charge cable all the way to the battery from that little hole. Sorry for the ignorance, but I'm just not following.......

Steve_H 04-18-2008 02:35 PM

it gives you access to the hatch ram pin so you can lift it up by hand

WMF 04-18-2008 03:17 PM

We moved all the battery switchs and jump points under the seat, the rear hatch was redone on my apache and does not have the hole in it.
