Super clean job Harry! I just talked with a buddy who mounded his switch in the same position. He reiterated what I had remembered. He kept inadvertently hitting it. After much frustration, he moved it to behind the saddle. It looks so cool.....I hope that your experience is different. -M- 8)

Apart from the potential bruising, having the switches where you knock them on as you roll might not be all bad :)

Harry, like your other outfitting jobs it's really nice work.

What are the yellow tabs sticking out of the sides of your switch pod? Fuses? Hard to see in the photo.

The pumpkin is awesome. It looks like you used standard sign vinyl(?), how well is it sticking to the HDPE?

yellow fuse holders. 3amp ATO flat fuse that you can change out while still sitting in the saddle. there is extra fuses slit into the foam too. for the decals i wiped the area with alcohol and they sticl fine. i made my own hazard strtipes from 4" vinyl lettering tape.

How did you get your mini cell so smooth? Looks way nicer than I've ever been able to accomplish with a "sureform", and sand paper.-M -

Harry, I would say again what nice work that is, but your photos speak for themselves!

I'd really like to hear your comments on how it handles/feels, in comparison to your previous boats.
