Those are the decent one's...
The hatch broke due to extreme wind and us going against it full throttle... Big bummer. Bolts broke. Hinges bent. It sucked. So we came home early. We had plenty to take care of this weekend anyway.
I also came home to another job offer from MMUS which I left 2 months ago... It's going to be a busy week.
I hope to see pic from other cameras I know you're there!

That is the first time I saw Kevins boat. That thing is SWEET!!!!! Still don't see how the hatch could rip off??? Was it open or did the ram just not keep it closed?? Sucks anyhow and glad no one was hurt. I am sure Nort was there with a camera for amo on that one however

No Nort missed it. Well we have scopes and there wasn't enough air evacuating from within the hatch.
When winds are blowing 20 mph and your going against it full throttle you are in hurricane wind. So because there wasn't enough slots for the air to escape it lifted it and it blew. It was still attached but the hinges were totally bent.
It was bad. No one took pictures but Jeff and I.
