[QUOTE="DearJon, post: 275319, member: 9078"] I've been trying to do some last minute additions just to make the boat more user friendly. Whenever I needed to fill up on fuel, I would have to pull out the bladder from under the bow to access the filler cap. It's easy to pull out the bladder when it's empty, but trying to put it back under the bow with 80 lbs. of fuel in it is a pain in the neck (and back). I originally thought that fill ups would be pretty infrequent, so I would just deal with the inconvenience once a month. After filling up in 95 degree heat the other day, I vowed never to do that again. I was completely soaked with sweat. I decided to install a hatch that I got through Tempress. Now it's a breeze to fill up at the local marina. With ethanol-free fuel of course... I also added a couple of large cup holders that accommodate the Koozie too. I got really tired of spilling my beverages. They are dark gray, match the boat well, and seem pretty sturdily made. [/QUOTE]
