Default Hatch Updates!

Making progress. See pics of this one-of-a-kind alum. hatch!

Also, all brakes and bearings replaced, trailer rewired (temporarily) and new winch and support added to trailer. Didn't plan on all this work just to move it around!

Thanks for the comments guys. I am Definitly going for look all mine. Modern interior, old school graphics, modern Ammenities like air conditioning and chart plotter.

Should be an interesting mix for some but just what I want ( an I'm buying !!)

The drives are trs. I honestly don't know what number that translates to!

Hey underdog, you ever run that thing at Salt Fork? I grew up on that lake! Not too much room to let that beast loose though! Lots of no wake.

The trs should hold up well against the 600's . If they don't , Konrad makes a replacement drive that bolts right up . There are also plenty of good deals on #3 set up's but , I'm pretty sure you would have to change the drive height . Fun boats to drive

Quite a bit as it's my closest unlimited HP place to play. Only 45min drive. Very pretty lake, nice beach, clean water but no bars... Is a lake really a lake w/no bars? You can only look at so many trees... Buckeye Lake is my favorite as it has the opposite of all the above. Party Lake 1hr drive.

Looking forward to your project. Maybe we can get in a run together when you get her done. Here is some stuff and pics about out boat(needs updating but...)

I've seen your site and followed your boat. It is sweet and one that definitely inspired my design with the scoops!
