When I bought Sunshine my 1974 HMS 18 the foreword hatch was custom wood
with a smoked plastic top. It looked great, but it would leak badly. I
dismantled it and re sealed the hatch. It didn't leak too bad after that, but
it started to ROT. After four years of fussing with it I threw it away and
put the factory hatch back on. I painted it brown, so it still looks like
wood. Last year we spent the night anchored in a rainstorm, no leaks.
