Who did the graphics cause thats the way to go and easy to replace if ever needed plus would have to be alot cheaper than etching all that mirror stainless.
Sizing for my 38' staggered hatches ordered (2) 20" x 50.5" 304 Sheet #8 finish 18 Ga. with round edges $200 delivered. You could go with 20 or even 22Ga., I wanted to make sure there was zero fun house mirror effect. ADM Boat Vinyl Graphics ask for Adam 440-749-5692 he is reliable and ships fast.

Discount steel stainless. Probably one of the easiest and inexpensive modifications I’ve done to the boat.
