Ok, so does a 28 have a 12* transom or a 16* transom?

Santa came a little early for me today. The sticker says Electronics Unlimited. Must be the good stuff.

Thanks Ron, one more coming for this order and we will get to the details.

"Nice"

Got to do a little fitting up last night for the race hatch to permanant hatch conversion. The race hatch fits surprisingly snug, so I will need to do a little "reduction" so it dosnt mar the new finishes on the rare occasion it will be installed.

The race hatch will be cut to 24-30 inches (havent decided yet) to provide a permanent rear hatch to bring this hull to a newer look, and move the rear seat forward. I have also figured out a way to salvage the usability of the front portion of the hatch so that the rear seat can be removed and the front section of the race hatch can still be installed for giggles if need be. A couple of simple stainless brackets should work fine for front hatch attachment.

The rear bench in the pic will also be brought into the 21st century after mock-up.

Parts are still flowing in, but more to order after Christmas.

Not to hijack a thread but how do we turn the pics if they come up sideways?
It is always frustrating when posting. I be Noli knows how to do it.
NOLI where are you when we need you. You are the king of positing pics.

Man I wish I knew. On my Ipad when you click the pic they right themselves. I reduced the size this time to see if that would help, but it didnt. Hopefully I have a new Ipad Air under the tree and this wont be an issue in the future.My Ipad is the antique model. I could use my photobucket, but it's a PITA. Noli uses photobucket i believe and the pics are huge and right.

Questions for the night.

Where can I get a set of the Stainless hood/hatch pins that Skater uses. I have one set (thanks Steve) but need another set?

What do you guys think about these latches? Very cool. Take a look at the video.

I cut my race hatch and moved the rear seat up also. I used a electric screw jack to avoid the need for the pins. Plus the hatch can not be opened unless you know where the switch is. So I turn off the batteries, close the hatch, and it is the theft deterrent. I have only off/on ignition switches, no keys. The screw jack holds the hatch very tight against the rear seat, no vibration. No pins to scratch the boat or lose

I might have the old factory pins if you need them.

You know, I have always wondered why anyone would deal with the hassles of these dang pins. The ones I linked above wouldn't be to bad but electric would be so much better. Can you please link the actuator/jack you used, and how did you fasten it to the top of the tunnel, if at center.

I had no idea your 28 was an early model. Good job on the mods. Your work is amazing.

If there is any way I could talk to you about the conversion that would be great. Could save me some time in the long run. PM me your phone number if possible and I will give you a call tomorrow. I've been struggling with hatch size, and seat placement. To much to type. I guess this means you built a seat base as well. Yep, I need to talk to you.

If you still have those pins I will need a set for the race hatch for quick install/detach. I don't mind buying them and having them shipped.

You can't !
