Need to find a replacement hatch

[Parrot6909]

I have an 86 V20 that is missing the starboard side hatch that covers those lovely storage bins on the transom......any clue where to get one?

Wellcraft no longer has them . Unless you can find one on a junked boat you will have to have one made . I have a friend who broke his had new hatches made out of teak . They turned out very well .

I was afraid of that.....Teak wouldn't be too bad I guess. Would you happen to have a picture of it so I could get an idea?

Parrot,

Make it out of 1/2 in thick starboard and route out channels in the underside of the lid to allow it to close flush.

I have one lid that is cracked and ready to break in half.

Made both of mine out of 3/4" starboard. *Bill Mc ;D

He lives a few hours away from here . I will see if he will take a picture and send it to me .

First thing I did(but this is just me)...is pull ALL the teak OUTTA my boat..."Can't fish this weekend...gotta oil my teak"...no, not me ;) ;D

Starboard...make it and FORGET IT... :D

[Parrot6909]

Yeah, I know....but I like how it looks as does the wifey. I am going to try the epiphane's varnish on it, if it doesn't last out it goes....

If Wifey ain't happy, ain't NObody happy... ;) ;D
