Let's talk hatches, anchor storage and the like.

I need more storage. I built a 20"X60" box off my front deck and I still don't have enough.
I want to add some hatches with the bins. Where is the best place to get them, or what did you do?

I like the idea of an anchor storage like this.

Well I can't get the pic to load, I'll try again later.
I believe I remember seeing a hatch that had a hanger built in that would hang the anchor. Anyone seen one or know where to get one?

I know this is built in, but it seems like I saw one made from plastic that was all included in a hatch.

Anyone know where to get one?

Here are a few hatch covers from Great Lakes Skipper. There is no interior like the one you showed and these examples are surprisingly expensive.

I have tempress 11"x17" cam lock access hatches and like them. They dont come with an interior but they do make a drop in hard liner for them. I believe I payed $60 a hatch.

I installed Tempress hatches on my last boat and both leaked in the rain.

I have a total of 4 hatches from bassboy1. 3 built into a frame that extends my front deck. And another in my rear bench that is a hatch with drop in liner. He makes TOP notch stuff.

I looked at their site and also
T-H marine. Both were expensive. I don't mind paying if they are worth a darn.
But I really want to come up with some sort of hanger for the anchor. I might have to make my own.

Give bassboy1 a shout. I can't say for certain, but I'd bet he could make you something. I never considered custom hatches until I ran across some of his work here on tinboats.net. I still figured it was way out of my price range, but once we worked me up pricing I was pleasantly surprised.
