[QUOTE="mikejjmay, post: 449726, member: 23447"] Well the casting deck should receive its last coating of treatment then its on to carpet. Tried to find marine vinyl on the cheap that matched the existing vinyl on the seats but no luck, and all new vinyl through the whole boat is just not in the budget. Anyone ever done a hingeless hatch (like the whole hatch just lifts out)? If so, how did you "retain" it down when underway, etc? Its 3/4 ply so pretty hefty so im not worried about it bounding around too much, but would like a way to latch it down as it were. trying to minimize hinges on the deck top, and unfortunately with the way the framing was done (no one to blame but me) hidden hinges or under-deck hinges aren't an option.
