Thanks for the refresher, Terry. Yeah, I must have been sleepin'. I remember most of that page yet the hatch bungies eluded me. Springy bastards... nice simple solution. I had actually thought of using Jeep hood -style releases to make the Seavette a convertible cuddy. Fortunately I quickly shelved that idea.

One feature Bob liked about that hatch on his 21 was that you could raise the front of it (when in closed position, I believe) so that it would act as an air scoop, sort of like the hatch on a Seafari! Will you be able to do that with yours? That's a good thing when you're anchored out overnight in July in the Bahamas when the air temps only cool down to about 80F! Gillie, can you do that with the hatch on your 21? Denny

Not to derail this, but indeed, Denny - mine does raise in front while closed. Or at least it did. Then one day we towed her down to the big pool with the hatch open and found the hatch had scooped a lot of wind and was pinned up against the windshield. Luckily, nothing broke but It was embarrasing
