Whelp, at the Avi Saturday evening at the mothers day meet I was a bit toasty and forgot to secure my engine hatch straps, which at 70mph proved too much for the hatch. The fucker decided to lift off and remove itself from the boat. What that means is it tore itself loose and ripped the bimini clean off too. I remember turning around to see it flying through the air. By the time we turned around it was floating its ass down the river like a raft. Soooooo, Ive since reattached it, replacing the gas struts that obviously sank to the bottom of the river; and attached this nifty chingadera that not only lifts the hatch up and down, but secures it if I ever 'forget' to latch it again...
The video is waaaaay more impressive but seems I can only attach pics
One fast station wagon!!!
