Brian, you can use 3/4'' Starboard (Seaboard) for a new hatch-cover on that live-well...if it were me, I'd hinge it to use the space for storage...choose a color that will match or go with your floor color, cause I don't think there's a paint that'll stick to it, nor a glue that'll hold carpet to it...replaced my old teak hatch-lids w/it years ago...GREAT stuff ;)...
