Well Lane is in serious thought about the side panels. He says that instead of the two piece units Baja used he is doing them out of one piece of wood and has some good ideas on the design which will allow for better speaker placement.
Instead of solid white like it came from Baja he will be adding a love of color to better match the new bolsters.

This is actually a photo of Doug working the throttle as Adam makes adjustments on the engine linkage. We had to move the shifter pin location to the center position from the bottom hole, set the stops correctly, and equal the tension on both handles.
You are correct that Lane, and myself will be addressing the side pad designs tomorrow, after we set the motorlid in place.
You should go ahead and work on your "For Sale" sign on the HP 500s.....LOL

"Jumping Ship" NOT.
Sorry I was just trying to keep this under raps until we were almost complete. At the same time I developed a great deal of respect for the Checkmate brand and you know how much I respect all the folks there. Down the road I hope to add another boat to the stable maybe a center console and I hope they are making one by then. I'm sure at some point I will also be a very proud Checkmate owner.
Thanks
Dock
P.S. We always look good buddy!
