Default Converting deck hatches to flush hatches?

Ok fellas. So in our to-do list for the scorpion, we want to either close off our deck hatch or make it flush. The hatch is 20x20. Does anyone make flush decik hatches ?? [ATTACH=CONFIG]540699[/ATTACH].

This is what we want .

flush hatches like the ones above are custom cut/made from the deck. You will have to remove your existing hatch and make flange then its possible to make a new hatch to fit.

Thanks Dave. My main concern in waterproofing it. It will require and internal lip of sorts with a recess to allow the hatch itself to rest upon. Saw this pic I think it was a skater
