[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 308289, member: 7537"] Man this boat is starting to look sweet. You asked about the tempress hatches. They are at the top when it comes to drop in hatches, they work great but one thing you need to think about would be the UV......they will fade and crack over time even though they use UV inhibitors, especially in the south Texas sun. I would suggest that you do a price comparison on aluminum drop in vs plastic. You look like your sparing no expense with the build and you obviously know what your doing with the aluminum. I would go with custom fabricated hatches like bassboy makes or make em yourself. They will never go bad and you can always repaint over time. I like how your making the deck......growing up in Corpus Christi I remember the flats skiffs as a kid. I don't ever recall one made with an aluminum hull.......great job. =D> [/QUOTE]
