Hi Webgang,

More on making replacement hatch boards. I got a piece of white "Seaboard"
at Tap Plastic. It's 3/8" thick and they cut it to the right width for me.
It's polyethelene with UV stabilizers, similar to WestMarine's "Starboard".
Cost $43 for a piece long enough to make the boards with a little to spare if
I don't get the top curve quite right the first time. Now all I have to do is
cut an asymetric curve so it fits the uneven door opening correctly <grin>.

I also got a piece of 1/8" x 3" solid red oak for trim on the top at Home
Depot for about $3.

I'll never have to varnish it again....

Regards,
Judy
