Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
I don't have a close up of the hatch latch from my Classic 18, but it was not a tight fit - the latches from a 69/70 Mach 1 are far more 'positive', though still not flush. Searching for a flush mount T-handle hasn't turned up any yet.....

Thats why I'm going with the electric hatch lift. Much cleaner look...More WOW factor when you show off your 572. I cant Imagine that the electric hatch lift weighs that much.

Re: Prototype Y2K Single scoop hatch
Hey Rick,
I was speaking with JC at the shop on Saturday. He was not aware that the existing engine hatch on the 24 Super will not clear the new 496 engines...
Dave M. had to raise his hatch anyway...
If I can not swing the $$ for a bigger boat next year, I will be redoing the interior along with some other upgrades on my 24'.
If you fellows do end up building a new hatch for the 24' that is in the rigging shop, I may be interested in one as well. Maybe Dave M. would be too.
Later,
