BatBoat Questions

I have spent the winter redoing a V24 BatBoat (in the US). I have noticed that all of the European boats have latches on the doors with a pull pin on the exterior. It seems like a much better setup than what I have. Could somebody email me pics of thiers, or let me know where I could find out information on them? Any help would be appreciated.

With mu mom being a breast cancer survivor, and having known many that have lost the battle, I decided to make this Bat a breast cancer awareness theme boat. I am teaming up with a local hospital that has all of the resources for the early detection of breast cancer, and I am just looking to inform people of it. I have alot of appearances scheduled both on and off the water. Hopefully we can make a difference!

here are some pics:

Are there any other latches used on the European boats? I looked on th etiger website and ordered 4 of them:
http://store.tigerperformance.com/safety-latch-kit.aspx

Expecting an invoice for $110 each, they wanted top bill me about $170 each, as they wanted to add the pin and the lanyard. It is pretty clear in the pics that it should all be included.

Any other thoughts out there?

I dont find anything wrong with that, from what i know about that system, there are multiple lengths that the pins could be. Also i appreciate the ability to buy the latch without the pin or lanyard. Some people may already have a pin or can find them cheaper. When you buy furniture or other things they include many other things in the pictures. Sounds like to me your just one of those people that aren't happy under any circumstances.
