Replacement Hatches Advice Please

[RAI]

I have just bought a 20 year old 20' Pro-line CC which is my first boat. The old Tempress hatches are junk and have leaked for years. I would like to replace them with watertight hatches that are strong enough for a person to sit on.

I would appreciate any advice that you can offer regarding high quality, watertight, replacement hatches and where they can be purchased.

Thanks in advance.

This is the company that I bought my replacement hatches from. There are others but these guys have been around for a while - and their products are good. http://www.pompanette.com/pompweb.n...c725f9390602558d85256a380060c4ca?OpenDocument

Thanks for the reply . It's always nice to have a referral. Anyone else have a recommendation?

Re: Replacement Hatches Advice Please

Apparently the openings for 2 of the hatches that I need to replace are a bit hard to find. The cutout is a rectangle 11.5" x 28.5". Although one Bomar hatch fits similar cutout dimensions, the radius of the hatch corners would leave the cutout rectangle corners uncovered. Does anyone know of a hatch source that can accommodate openings of this size with a door style that covers the flange and has a fairly tight corner radius (1.5 inches or so)?

Thanks,
