I agree with your thinking of location. The pics I had been seeing and wanting to copy were from your pages. Thanks for the description.

Since I have you here can I ask a few other questions about your fit out?

You have started using a single strap around your back band. Do you find this works better than the upper/lower straps? What is the height of the band? I'm guessing 4"?

Your bungee hatch hold down systems have one secured tied loop and one slip over hook. I understand the one secured set prevents hatch loss but does it make it a little awkward not to be able to get the hatch far enough out of the way loading etc? Have you used two slip on connections on the hatch and then just a longer secure line?
