Just to give you guy's an update. After About two hours worth of sweat and a little skin off the knuckles I was able to get 4' worth of extensions in from each side of the boat after I removed the vents. Got the nut off and then was able to wiggle the hatch with a 4' stick magnet stuck to the...

new places in our area We ran the whole week of Easter. There is a new Tiki Bar opened where the old Pier 13 was on the Amite Diversion. It has a mexican rest. next door and in my opinion, both are class acts! I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the Tiki Bar and the BBQ is not bad either.
