yep, the devil is in the details and i can see you know that all to well. I like the actuators on the hatches, pretty cool stuff. This is the kinda stuff that sets your boat apart from anything else.

Thanks Dave , means alot coming from you !! Another detail that I'm most proud and also took some time was the Skater logo built into hatch . Anyone can install a decal or paint the logo on , I wanted mine to be true 3D . It was an after thought so I cut the Skater logo from 3/8 Vinyl-ester sheet I layed up then went to Kinkos amd had logo stretched to 42 inch long and cut out with jig-saw . Once it was cut out I files and sanded to around 1/4 tall and at this point it was getting pretty fragile and was afraid it would snap so I found the desired spot and drilled to 1/8 locator holes then glassed logo on with 1.5 mat super wet . After it set up I then could safely sand to a height pf 1/8 high and fair in all edges , had no fingerprints for a month ! I thinks its one of a kind . If I thought of this from the beginning I would have put logo into mold .

I haven't had finger prints for years lol do you have a background in body an paint or are you one of those super advanced do-it-yourselfers? That hatch logo is friggin cool, that whole boat will be off the hook when she hits the water.
