Could you build two? I don't think my hatch is the same as yours, though. Mine, there is a space between where the hatch ends and the back seat begins. The space is like 8 inches. Its the only 28 that I have seen this way.

I just need a hatch that is raised about 4 inches. That's all.

I have that same space between the back seat and the hatch. I almost cut it out and extended the hatch but I didn't want to hack it up. If I had more time I'd build you one but I barely have time to work on my own boat.

What year is your boat? Any Pics?

I've seen that as well on a 28SS in Baltimore at an SBI race in 2000. I didn't realize there was more built that way. Share some pics with the rest of the folks here if you can...

Its an 86 with T-454's and TRS's. Not sure if the 454's are stock or not.

Sorry about the zip file.

BattleCry your boat is AWESOME!
I thought mine was the only one with no deck hatches. It must be real tight in that engine compartment with big blocks.

It looks like the recent tornados here in Springfield IL are going to buy a new set of injected small blocks. The big blocks are coming out.

Re: 28SS's
 
I read on another thread that the small block boats ride better than the big block boats. What kind of speeds are you seeing with the big blocks? Do you have any details on the injected small blocks?

Heres some pictures of my new hatch(s) I was just fitting one up before fiberglass and figured I'd show you guys what it looks like. They are "race hatches" so they will open to each side. Also theres a pic of the 10 inch area of fiberglass between the seat and hatch so we all know were talking about
