Reel,
I may borrow your hinged hatch idea also. That gives me some good ideas for my middle hatch where the ropes & bumpers are stored. I believe I will go with the plain white like Tsubaki did, only because it's less expensive. The best price on Ebay I could find right now is $86.95 X 2. So I am still searching for cheaper if there is such a thing. MJ, Two years ago when I joined here, seeing your V20 all done up really inspired me to one day do the same. It sure did look sweet with all the re-mods you did. Thanks guys for all your great ideas. This is truly my favorite site, even though I don't post alot, I am here reading everyday.

 One thing I did that really worked out well was find a 120 qt cooler that fit like a glove in the forward hatch, then cut a piece of Starboard to cover the remaining opening, curving the front edges to wrap the cooler...cooler is my fish-box/storage depending on need...  Another pic of the forward cooler in party mode... I'm pretty sure I've still got a length of SS hinge that'll work for your split lid...I'll send it to ya if you wanna...

Reel,
Sorry I took so long getting back to you on the hinge. I am all set because I have some old SS piano hinge that I took off of a milk tank cover from the farm. I think I will be going with the light grey as well because it will match the Duraback color. I wanted to paint it this weekend, but here in New England it's been non stop rainy dreary days for almost two weeks now. So I am launching Wed. (rain or shine) for opening day of fluke season in Rhode Island. MJ, Thanks for the J. Freeman Plastics info! I am calling them ASAP to order a full sheet of 3/4" light grey. They have it listed at $171.00 a 4' X 8' sheet where as the cheapest I could find on Ebay was $131.00 for two pieces 19" X 32"!!! It's a no brainer, buy a full sheet for $171.00 and do all the hatches and then some. So thanks MJ

Thats great, but the prices like i said are not updated! I am sure its mid to high 200's now?
I will be buying a full sheet soon as I have some things to do on the OX, and I like having the extra for other stuff.

MJ,
I called J. Freeman and talked to Andy. I almost fell off my chair whenever he quoted me $320.00 for a full sheet (4' X 8' x 3/4") of Seaboard grey color. I guess it sure did go up MJ! So my plans are now back to the white starboard from the guy off of Ebay for two pieces 19 x 32 for the floor hatches. I will keep trying to find cheaper then the $131.00 if at all possible.

Yea I knew they went up, but I still like to get the full sheets so I have left over for other things. Made a cutting board doors floor ll kinds of stuff for the V20.
