I will have my side tanks out even further then that, so I could mount my hatch that way if I wished. I currently have a CT crash guard in the way of doing that, and I think I want my hinge in the back for the KLH-500. I just finished some FEA work on the acrylic cylinder for the new CT config. a few days ago. It looks like it's a tough beast.

He's not a big man, but the hatch off center and Pete off center combined tell me that the Antibodes is pretty much rock solid on the surface.

And some loss of buoyancy will also occur as the opened bottom ballast tanks burp.

The CT bolts on so I guess you can change the hinge position as desired. This is the first orientation to the side I have seen. I was wondering how you could tell that the dogs can be operated from the exterior?
Thanks,
