Glass Dave I think you made this hatch?? I was trying to figure out a way to make some "plugs" for the openings. Is that something you do also?

Yep, i made the rough hatch for the owner and he fit it to the boat. It was originally for a TG but i altered up the mold to the rough dimensions and he took it from there. Looks good on the boat. I could probably make some flat cored sheets with the same schedule but the would have to be fit and glassed in. Why are you trying to fill them in? just curious.

Mr.Sneak i actually did the same as above for a 38KV that was here in Ohio. Not sure how it worked (i think he sold the boat/project) but the dimensions of the shoulder of that hatch were close. Shoot me a PM and I'll send ya my number if interested. From the surface of the deck it is about six plus inches.
