Has there been any problems with the hood latch system blowing the hoods off the bobs?

There was a bob in upstate NY that landed the hood came off and it went down. They had to pay a dive team to find it.
Just cheaper to buy straps over a dive team.

I'm sure the bill for the dive team was much uglier than any hood strap setup. I'd tie a bunch of used socks together to hold my hood down before I'd want to pay that bill! I got a Jeep stuck in a sandy river that happened to be a forest preserve in the suberbs of Chicago. I came back for it the next day and apparently I unwillingly hired a diving team to hook straps to it and 3 tow trucks to pull it out and tow it away plus trespassing tickets! That was hard to swallow on a college budget! Hood straps are like winches (cheap insurance)

I want to say it was a gen1.
But none the less straps are always a good idea.

I would rather ratchet two straps down, then have to watch my extremely expensive investment sink to the bottom of a lake.

Im starting to think you guys dont hear a good amount. Or maybe you just hear the good. Not that I am saying this is the bad. Im just telling the truth and what I am seeing in front of me. Isnt that the feed back you would want?
Did you know about the cold fusion batter trays not fitting in the hull? and it didnt sit flat it need 3 washers on 1 mount and 1 on 1 of the other 3. Having to cut weld and shim a battery tray to fit a hull isnt somthing I have ever had to do before.

You know I don't make the hulls right? If there's problems with it, call our shop and talk to someone who actually works on them.

Dont you run a cold fusion batt tray in your own ski?
I know you dont make the hulls but you seem to be the spokes person for them. and i was just giving you that info. Im sure when the guy sank his ski we wasnt rushing to tell you "since you dont make the hulls"
Take the good with the bad man. It looks like the gen3 has worked on a ton of these issues.

Nope, we made a composite battery tray for the 12cell Ballistics battery for my ski. We've never used the Cold-Fusion battery tray, we use OEM Super Jet battery trays for our builds. No cutting required.

Stock tray and there ballistic tray fits fine in mine. You can't expect every aftermarket battery tray to fit

Didn't even try one since he had the small battery. The mounts were not flat so even a stock one would need to be shimed. I just don't know if there is a reason for 1 mount being 1/4inch lower than the other 3?

The bob gen two that sank was my old white and red. The guy i sold it to tried a barrel roll and blow the hood off. I have know idea how that happened because we flipped and rolled it all over the ocean and no problems. Either it wasnt hooked right or the strap came loose.
