Black Jack 26 epoxy hatch

[tiqueman]

Hey Scott,
These look amazing! I can't believe how they make the boat look. Great work. I'm going to need a "painted to match" stock version at some point like the one you did from Dom. Might not be till after Christmas though. Let me know when you come up with a price.
Tom

Thanks Tom. I was wondering if you had seen them yet. Painted versions, once Im ready to release them, will be $70.00 plus shipping. Ive done extensive research to figure out pricing. Other quality hatches painted go from about $65.00 and up. By the time I factor in custom mixed paint, reducer, materials (tape, sandpaper etc.) theres not much left in it for profit. Im just a one man band tryin to make something nice and offer it to fellow boaters. Some may think its steep, those who have painted boats may think otherwise.

i might need one of those. painted and shipped to norway :)

PM me an address and I can give you an estimate.

Can you paint one of mine for the top BJ in the pic I will be painting the other one this winter so no paint needed for it. It was a Nitro boat now it's brushless (top one).
Joe

If you can give me some dimensions, Im sure I can do it. Did you paint that one like that or is that how the factory Nitro paint comes?

No worries Vid. If you change your mind or want a white one, let me know.

Yeah... I cant figure out how to make enough money to have it all

Another idea I have is to offer the hatch w/ a bottle of paint that will match so that the customer can paint it themselves. This is not a cheap hatch using cheap materials. Im using the best of the best on these things. If I went time and material Id have to ask a lot more for them. There is not enough profit in one hatch to make another. Especially when it comes to painting them. Its not a 15 minute paint job.

It's factory paint I think it's the same on most nitro's. Did you want me to post pic's with a ruler beside it?

Joe, looking at it more, what may be even better (or along with measuring it) can you template it and either pdf it to me or snail mail it? Start points for it is one thing, but Id want to make sure I continued the correct curve.

If this one happens, I think Im going to lay it up in gelcoat. Basically paint it in the mold starting w/ a clear gelcoat, then the black and white, then lay it up. Then theres no worry of paint peel.

[tiqueman]

DOH!!! Do you want the canopy red? Forgot about that

[tiqueman]

are these for sale and how much interested in a plain white one maybe with the window painted? i live in maple ridge bc canada i.. thanks tim

Will you ship to Canada? If so I would like two.
Joe

Heres the first part out of the new mold. Window frame is more define and a cleaner line and I angled the back to match up w/ the hull/ deck angle.
