[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 403454, member: 9937"] Tough crowd! No criticism or advise? Here's a question, I planned on cutting out the opening for the hatch lids. Then build a 1x1 frame all the way around the edge with two or three supports going across to stiffen the doors. I will use some 1x1 angle to make supports where the tubing will sit on when the hatches are closed. Very similar to how reservoir boat works builds their lids. Any input on this? Better ways, or cut it out and go with sealed plastic hatch covers. I did just find some really nice looking aluminum covers on cabelas website. May go that route too.. [/QUOTE]
