if you want to carpet it just cut plywood to fit the openings glass both sides of the ply to seal it and carpet over the top if you make the carpet removable (like velcro it down) clean up is easier and you could still use the hatches

If you cover that center hatch, how will the tank compartment get vented?

Rugs in boats, bad idea.

Cut up some Marine plywood, then glass over it. Read a few pages of Oops! hull extention thread...All the answers you are looking for on glassing are there....
