[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 377277, member: 7076"] The hatch works perfectly. The lid has a gasket, and I used 5200 between the deck and the frame. I've never had a drop get into the compartment from the hatch. I haven't done anything on the curled edges. There's really only one of them that is exposed normally (left side of the lower console), and the rest are only visible with you open a hatch or lift a seat. I had one set of edges that run along the hinges of the hatches (livewell & bilge) that I used a bead of 5200 on instead of the contact cement. These edges have never come up, so that's probably the best way to go with the vinyl in the future. My 40 doesn't push it too fast. I've topped out around 21 or so. I actually picked up a Johnson 50 that I'm going to put on it this spring. I'm keeping my eye open for an inexpensive 60 to max it out. I think the TX's are rated for an 80hp or something, right? The Pro 17's are limited to a 60. Good luck and be sure to PM me with any ?'s. I've not been as good following Tinboats this winter with all of the snow keeping me occupied. [/QUOTE]
