is there a home depot near you. go check their off cut pile, you can usually buy pieces of good grade plywood at a really cheap price. whatever you buy ( I used cabinet grade ) make sure it has as many plys ( layers ) as possible. you can buy a gallon of inexpensive resin at boater world, along with the cloth. probably could do it for 75 bucks or less. When you secure the hatch down, tape a piece of 50 lb mono around the lip, so if you ever have to bust the 5200 seal, use the mono too cut it loose
