I am finishing a build and the last project I have left is the hatches (or lets so hatch lids) for the front and rear decks. What are most of you guys using, aftermarket like Tempress hatches? Are you making your own and if so out of what (besides the obvious, plywood) Not really wanting to make them out of plywood, trying to stay away of having to use 3/4" on the decks to save a little weight. And 1/2" just aint got the strength, IMO. I am going to reuse one of the original hatch lids from the boat. (It had a really cool moulded Bass Tracker lid on it) But I am going to have to do something with the live well as well and the front deck storage.
