Deep, here's a few shots showing my hatch and headrests that might give ya some ideas. Sorry no close ups, click the pics for the full size view.

My current hatch is on it's way out if ya want it. I've made some engine compartment changes to facilitate an "old school" flat and usable cover. It's about impossible to get in or out of the boat from the rear, even when sober...

The wife and i both had unexpected trips in the drink for the same reason . Thanks for the offer on your hatch , i have some thinking to do . I really would like something light weight , light is fast !

Sam , It looks like I need to get busy on some winter projects!

Is your boat at home? I may be getting neck surgery in the next week or two so I should have some time on my hands to stop over and watch you work...

I told you that SSR of yours was gonna make me spend money . I went through neck surgery a few years back , i wish you the best result with a quick recovery . Should i put a beer fridge and a lazyboy in the garage for you ? How about OSO on a 60" screen too . Anything for you my friend . Get well soon . Sam
