Mac, I was just looking at the pics of the damaged hatch. I think that can be repaired. You may also want to consider recessed pop-up-cleats. That's how it suffered the crack. Someone probably leaned on it while it was open against that cleat and applied too much pressure. Mine has a recess in the fiberglass coaming so that the top of the cleat sits just about flush with the top of the gunwhale. But a pop-up-cleat would accomplish the same thing and would prevent any snags when your out fishing too.
