New Hatch

[nickmerc]

I am in the process of compiling my wish list for boat upgrades. I am concentrating on portlights and hatches now. I am strongly leaning toward New Found Metals for the portlights. However, if I go this route I would like to find a hatch to match. I currently have that god-awful translucent fiberglass hatch from the 70's. So, does anyone have a reccommendation for a hatch that matches the look and quality of NFM portlights? I have looked at Lewmar hatches, but I am not sure I will be getting quality commensurate to the cost.

Ireplaced my main hatch with one I found at a low price at West Marine's surplus sale outfit in Oakland CA. I think there's an east coast outfit as well. You can also find them in consignments stores. I used a stainless plate to adapt the opening to the hatch. There was also fiberglass work to adapt the deck opening... cutting down the ridge then filling between the deck and liner so that there was solid material between the deck and liner. The result was worth it.
