My 28 Saber is similar, but beefier with some diagonal knee stringers built into where the hatch 90's over. The hatch ram is the same as any other boat I've had The hatch is not that heavy - mine had a auto fire extinguisher mounted to the back seat/hatch as well.

Nothing. That's the way it was delivered when new. 1996 Sunsation Dominator.

Also, those two side bolsters on each side on top of the bench seat have wing nuts on the backside so they are easily removed to gain even more access to the engine compartment.

Yeah, I had the whole back seat out this fall/winter to pull engines. Mine didn't have wingnuts but instead standard stainless 1/2" or so nuts. If I had to do it again maybe I'd replace with wingnuts, but hopefully that's not happening anytime soon.
