  14. Finally got round to making / fitting new bow fender, go cart tyer fits snugly over the front as I have found it is always the front edge that wears the most , not a professional job by any means but it suits me and now it matches the stern fender
  15. A lion would not be able to come in through the back doors they are locked , if there was a crocodile in the cratch I would get out through the side hatch
  16. If there was a fire in the bedroom ( reverse layout ) we would exit through the stern doors , if there was a fire in the kitchen living bathroom area we would exit through the bow. Doors
  17. Not so I have combination bolts on the bow / stern doors and sliding hatch all port holes when I lock it up you can not get in or out ,so if a small person smashed a port hole window and got in he would have to leave the same way , I know that if someone wanted to get in they could with a angle grinder
