Every boat needs this hatch design or be modified. Recently my brother was in the market for a Chris Craft 27’ launch with twin small blocks so I looked at a few down here for him . It was stupid to even reach the batteries and the bulkhead was so tall and the motors so deep in the bilge it was nearly impossible to hang over it to even check the oil. And there was no room to crawl down around or in front of the motors, some of the worst access I’ve seen in a boat.

How could you possibly pull a motor?

Back in the day all we had on the big lake were "small" boats. And somehow we managed to have fun that is probably not legal today. Weekends at the Indiana Dunes, trips to Michigan City, St Joe, Sagatuck or just a raft up in the play pen. I remember when the first "big" boat showed up, a 35 Cigarette. Then some 38 Scarabs.

M. Friedman in that crowd?
