I need hidden hatch hinges for the bow access hatches and rear hatches. Has anyone used these from Hardin Marine?

Any other recommendations and photos of an install?

Both of those two"hidden" style are for mounting the anchor plate on a vertical surface, and requires a cut out for the throw. Are you going to have enough lip on the hatch opening for that hardware? Not sure but it looks like you need a couple inches vertical. Surely they have some specs.

I remember Kevlarkat fabbed some 100% hidden hinges that were really nice. Said he was going to sell them.
Good luck Sam.

This thread should never be off the front page! How much longer before boating season my need for speed is killing me. Who is going to Tickfaw? If Chris can get finished I'll be there! If not I may bring my duck boat!

Thanks Ron AKA Double Rigged for the hook up on electronics for my build. He may actually be one of the good guys in the boating industry. :lolhit:I'll let the cat out of the bag later but right now there is a certain 318 guy lurking and I can't play all my cards yet:evilb::evilb:

Ha Funny Sam, Come on let the cat out. when do you go in the water. As it looks I won't be in the water till end of may Im guessing. They don't have my motors yet. Paints in a couple of weeks. You know you won't be able to hold back that long.

was wondering what all you guys building, rebuilding, and forever upgrading were doing LOL.

Chris not sure if he's making tickfaw? your duck boat will fit right in so don't worry!

Hey guys, Ive never been to any of these Celebrations/Parties. Have no idea how it works. Being my boat is 10'2" wide not sure if it goes thru all the roads I towed my 21 checkmate on at about 8'6" wide. Would love to make some of the trips in the future. Probably gonna hang close to home this summer as I don't have a vehicle that can tow my rig currently. Its just over the my Ford Explorer sport's limit. I know my boat is no 388 as far as width goes but I have never towed anything close to that width. Can anybody enlighten me on the how the trip goes or do most of you ship your boats. Thanx, Steve.

10'2" is max legal width here in La. so you could tow it anywhere down here. You will have to make it down here for the 200...it's a blast!

I completely understand about not letting the cat out of the bag, sometimes it's hard not to share an idea that you think is really cool until you're done with it but it sucks even worse when you come up with an idea and someone beats you to the finish line with it LOL. I'm redoing a bunch of stuff on my 32 and while I want to throw a bunch of pictures out would rather get it closer to finished before I do.

10'2" is wide but not excessively, you'll definitely want to get a bigger truck to pull it with though a bigger truck will also not make it look as big behind it. Once you start taking it to a few runs away from home I'm guessing you'll get hooked, I've enjoyed every poker run I've been to rain or shine. It's just a lot of fun to go run the boats with a large group of similar boats and then the get togethers and dock parties are a great time after the runs are done.

I'm looking forward to all the unveils commin soon! I want to see quad400Rs' on Sams flatdeck, Nastyboy to break 125 mph with his, Superdave aka Killaquadzilla bust 130 mph with Bp and props, DR hit 120 with his X's, Larry and Mobil One go lightspeed or near it. I don't think I'm asking much of you guys except maybe Larry.
Other than LU maintenance I'm gunna splurge and redo my interior and hope to break 100 mph with some blasters. Keep the posts commin!

My boat set up is pretty much done in theory . Paint is finalized. Three gauges up top for driver and passenger seat with gas gauges in the tacks for each side. Vessel view to my left with portside helm. and gps in center all tied together electronically. Can show vessel view info on center GPS and stereo stuff is blue tooth touch screen thru center screen. No big surprises there. Four person bolsters in the stern. Cant wait to hear what Sam is keeping in the bag it must be good. Ha. I understand too about a new idea no one has ever seen yet. Once again can't wait. Steve.
