Awesome mods! Think I’ll steal some of them 8) . Really like the radio area and the lights in the hatch track.

I "fixed" one so it would never fly again once on the Kitty Hawk just by "helping" a helo mechanic for 1/2 hour :P 8) :| :D :D

PS Lets just say there was a small fire. I really don't want to talk about it.

Ummm..... I was looking through your mods on your site and I must say I was a little shocked with the "Front vee berth & peach interior" photos. Now at least I get what the peachy was about.
I was not expecting to see a half naked women there demonstrating how nice the new mod works. At least in the US that is not safe for work. :P Good thing I am the IT department. :D

In your Web...

What is this?

Is it a kind of foot step to protect the edge of the cockpit?

oi.. I'm a painter/photographer, who says this doesn't work?
Anyone want to see my oil paintings? I'm not going to risk putting them up here.. you can have a peep on this facebook link if you like. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=4 ... ed6ceefc77

Anyway Jose, the, err protected step... I had a little slip on the slipway... high wind, boat strap still on... reverse and CRUNCH :cry: the tail from the strap went under the trailer wheel. Big chunk taken out of the gunwale/coaming. So it is an improvement-come-repair job. Will have to do the other side too of course, but hey, it looks pretty damn cool I think, and there is no evidence of my error. The black is non slip and I found some stainless strips that had been quarter rounded at the local scrapyard some time ago that I thought mau come in handy. Sometimes I think I ought to have named the boat Stig (of the dump)
