One where the hinges are attached to the back seat: http://www.specialtymarine.com/images.../10317.jpg And the other where the hinges are attached to back of end of the lid: https://www.thehulltruth.com/attachme...1504631729 I think structurally, the first option is a bit stronger. Just a guess though. What do you guys think? (made links clickable) Edited by Joe Kriz on 12/17/19 - 3:13 PM

Assuming there is a strap or chain that limits how far it opens, I suggest the the second option. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
