Default I Need a new hatch!!!

Had a friend fall through my hatch, and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get one, or have one made? I have a 1996 35 lightning/ex. The boat is solid white and would like the hatch to be as well. Thanks in advance for any help! I measured the hatch, and the dimensions I got were 18-3/4"x21-1/2"

You could get it repaired if not I'm sure fountain performance could figure out how to build one.

any good fiberglass guy should beable to make you one so long as he can use the old hatch as a template/mold.had one made for a pachanga about 10yrs ago.it looked nice.

I made my own out of aluminum. I didnt like all the screw holes for the hold downs on the outside so i welded brackets on the inside. Then I painted it to match. Its slightly heavier but you wont damage it by walking on it.
