[QUOTE="wiredneck1, post: 378911, member: 15798"] The side hatches are actually custom....there was side hatches on the boat from the factory but the guy I bought it from took them out (he also had taken out the storage around the battery/gas tank area also)and I had absolutely nothing to work with besides a shelf and the wood that was around the shelf. It took be a bit to figure out how I was gonna make them but I am very satisfied with how they turned out. The hacth panels are probably 1/4 inch smaller than the cutout and they are still really tight so I wish I would've went a little smaller yet but oh well live and learn. The corners glued completely around the corners with weldwood contact cement and I also secured them with ss staples just to be sure that they last. I really appreciate everyones comments on the work I've done so far and I will add that this is my first ever boat project so I think it is turning out great. [/QUOTE]
