<div dir="ltr"><div>Hey Joe,<br></div>I will send you my cad files on the Minkota 101 Saltwater. I have measured my new 101s and weed 2 prop. I have also worked out the Marin 37 Kort nozzel design and attachment to the thruster for use on the SeaQuestor project. I will be most likely sending it to my fiberglass fabricator who will cut the assembly in foam on their 5 axis cnc, ready for a fiberglass overlay.<br>

<div>Hatch closure from both sides deffenetly a good one. I would say adjustable exterior weights. I hate the idea on chucking weights on the floor and then sitting on them. I am torn between that and moving the hp air tanks to the exterior to allow alot more room on the inside.</div>
