Looks awesome!

Predator Powerboats is doing something similar. will you be doing a light-weight hatch with balsa core?

No balsa for me! The plywood in the pictures is the core, 1/2 marine grade plywood. I weighed the hatch yesterday and it is 55lbs. Expect to add another 25-30lbs. of glass and resin which will still be about a third lighter tan the hatches currently on it! :eek:
