Dave, Dave, Dave,
What am I to do with you. I have every and any hatch configuration you could possibly ask for. I could make you a new Y2K scoop hatch for your boat , or the older style boxerier scoops. Let me know. It would be a nice winter project for me.

Glass over wood is going to be heavy. I made hatches from panels that had a foam core with a glass skin on the outside. Light weight and it minimized finish work, you only needed to glass the seams. Easy to work with. Molded in 2 side scoops that look like jet intakes and a scoop on top.

Dave, Lets have Rick build 2.
I don't want a scoop, just one that is flat and eliminates the pad.
Rick, I am serious. Do I contact you or go through JC.

Sounds good. I think I could probably manage to build something but what would it look like? :eek:
