[QUOTE="great white, post: 244590, member: 6238"] Worked on the front deck today. Cut the 3/8 plywood to shape and then put 4 screws in to hold it to the frame. Then, removed it all from the boat and flipped it over: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/8b7058ef-1.jpg[/img] Then I traced the cavities and removed the framing: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/d1446443-1.jpg[/img] Now I had the exact layout of the openings and where the supports were located. I could have measured and laid out the lines, but tracing was just much easier. Then is was a simple matter of adjusting the lines 3/4" this way or that to make sure the cut line was in the middle of the 1 1/2" width of the 2X4 in order to support the non hinged sides of the hatches. Deck reinstalled (screwed and glued) and hatches/openings cut: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/82dabda3-1.jpg[/img] Hatches in place: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/580d683d-1.jpg[/img] Hatches open: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/1d7e1cfd-1.jpg[/img] I need to buy some piano style hinges for the hatches. I also have to build the hanging structure under the deck for the cooler and batteries as well as the anchor compartment under the bow. Little bit closer every day.... [/QUOTE]
