Hey Maco...looks like you were thinkin' about starboard hatch lids...did mine out of 3/4 starboard 5 years ago...no extra bracing, no other modifications, no problems...just cut s-board to fit opening(this plastic DOES expand in hot weather, so allow for that)...drilled and routed finger holes at each end and they've been bullet-proof! Got a buddy, must weigh 350lbs or so...walked all over these lids w/no probs...What did you wind up doin' on yours?
