HAND LAMINATED  Fiberglass Boat Restoration Deck Hatches & Lids - SEE PRICES BELOW

PLEASE NOTE: I require a $50 deposit per hatch to secure a build slot. Once I’m ready to start your order I require 50% deposit and 50% plus shipping will be due when complete  

This version of my fiberglass deck hatches is made using a hand lamination process.  This version will be slightly heavier than my resin-infused version, but they are more economical.   

The lead time on hand-laminated hatches is typically about 4-6 weeks.

Available sizes are listed below.  Dimensions are the lid size, and the actual deck opening is approximately 2" smaller on both sides.  EX: 20"x20" hatch has a deck opening of 16"x16"

Each deck receiver has roughly a 3.0" flange around the outside that can be trimmed as necessary to fit your deck cutout dimensions. EX: 20"x20" hatch has a total length and width of 26"x26"

Hatches DO NOT include hardware or hardware installation.  My hatches are designed to accept most 2" Compression latches.  I offer Gemlux 2" latches for $52.00 each and Gemlux stainless hinges for $10.75 each. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Hatches are finished in White Gelcoat. These hatches are restoration finish grade, which requires refinishing after installation to match the color of your project. They may arrive sanded to a 120 grit finish and have minor repair areas.  High-build primer surfacing is required before top coating.

A rubber seal can be added but not included.  All lids are made with 1/2" 6lb—density foam coring.

 FAQ: "Do you make custom sizes?" Yes, we can; however, doing so requires paying a custom mold fee. We use our CNC machine to create a short-run MDF wood mold.  The mold fee starts at $450.00 per sizes.  Most medium-sized molds will be approx. $650.00 in addition to the cost to make the final part. 

"Do you offer color matching?" Yes, we can color-match your hatches using Alexseal Paints after they are pulled from the mold. Gelcoat color matching is not an option, as the color variations with Gelcoat are very difficult to match. Gelcoat color matching should be done on-site. 

"What hinges should I use?" These hatches are designed with a recess for a few different Gemlux Stainless Hinges and are available for $10.75 each for a traditional hinge, we also offer a few different friction hinge styles as an upgrade.

"Are the hinges screwed in or through-bolted?"  These hinge lids have an AP5 High-Density Composite insert placed into each hinge recess location, making it possible to attach the hinge screws without through-bolting.  The AP5 inserts have phenomenal holding strength on screws and offer superior resistance to pull-out and cracking.
