Parts for 1976 160SS Thundercraft

[bqbowden]

I picked up a 1976 160SS Thundercraft needing some tlc. The forward deck access panels were sheets of wood and I want to replace them with proper deck hatches. The measurement I have is 10 in x 26 in but I am not sure if this is the correct measurement.

Can someone point me to where I can purchase the correct size hatch and hatch frame? I need two of these.

Thanks ...

Every manufacturer will have their own list of sizes available.

Since Thundercraft "cheaped" out, you may not find a stock size that will fit perfectly.

Look for something oversize that you can enlarge the hole with and not cut any structure.

Great Lakes Skipper has a ton of hatches. Many are OEM overstocks so they'll have more sizes than the typical aftermarket ones.

Thanks - I found two hatches here that are a close match.
