Default Engine hatch idea needed

I want to put something across the opening on this hatch. Some type of grating on the inside to make it look a little more finished. Any creative ideas?

I'd go with a billet grille maybe. It would be a custom piece. Many folks on here, myself included, have the capability to create the 3-d file for NC machining.

someone in your town has a water jet cutter or something to cut a design into it with the name of the boat or the superboat logo.

Or you could use a perforated sheet of stainless.
