finished hatches for sale
 

We can supply finished fiberglass hatches, made locally. Two versions available now, one trapezoid style and one rectangle. These are very nicely finished, include gasket, recessed hinges and latch. The hatches are designed to sit on the topside of a hole (like a flange), then you would fair it flush. Non-skid is molded into the hatch (non-skid used in making the plug for these was the Kiwigrip we sell, so it woudl match the rest of your deck :) There is a section of the drain channel that is flat so you can put in a drain line

hatches are available for purchase here: http://www.gulfstreamcomposites.com/category-s/124.htm

please call me if you want to order one. 772.633.7923 Joel

Cool! I'll be calling you when I get to that part of my project.
Btw, can the larger hatch be insulated?
I want to use it for my front fish box.
Any other sizes planned?

Hi Dave, there is a longer on planned (specifically for fish boxes) but i dont know the dims yet. The hatched are cored, so there is some insulation

Very nice Shine.
Who makes those gaskets?

no clue, but they have the super sticky 3M backing/glue strip :)

i would like to order one of each please with all stainless steel hardware. my email is willweaver79@yahoo.com. if you could send me an email ill give you billing and shipping info. thanks Will in islamorada with 69' 20 foot sea craft

Shine ,
Can you make hatches with out the non skid texture.. And maybe custom sizes.. .

sorry, the non-skid is in the mold, but you can certainly grind it off.

The supplier of these is working on more sizes, but that's all we have for now

Can I suggest building a mold for an bow anchor hatch that would fit on the 23's? I would bet there would be some good interest for a hatch like this...

Those are very nice...talk to you soon.

the hatches are now listed at our store. Here is a link....

link removed, please call me if you want to order one. 772.633.7923 Joel

I would go for one too....

hatches are listed here...

There has been a lot of interest in the hatches, we will soon have a 20" square hatch to add, will have same gutter profile (match the other two)

Also, we are working on getting two new hatches (a rectangle and a square) that will be less finished, a little cheaper. Most guys end up painting these anyway. These new hatches will not have hardware, just the gutter flange and the hatch cover to go with it, so you can use your own choice of hinges and latches.

Hi Joel, my buddy and I are working on that 28' BHM that he ordered 3 hatches for; the unfinished hatches might work better, since we're painting anyway.
20" square hatches sound interesting.
Remind him to get the roll of 1700 also.
Thanks, Dave.

Hatches
 

Hi Joel. It's about time. Thanks for putting more choices to together for us. I need to know prices asap when you have them for the non finished hatches and when you give dimensions is it the actual opening.. Thanks Martin

Sounds good Dave. The only issue with the unfinished hatches is time, the molds are still under construction - so it could be a long wait. I spoke with your buddy this weekend, but have not seen the order come through yet. He did mention he was going to add some biax tape to the order. The finished hatches we have listed now are about 2 weeks to make/ship

Im looking forward to getting the rough hatches, will use them on the 25 Im building

Martin, I would love to have a whole offering of parts to make life easier on us weirdos who insist on making their own boats :)

Yes, the hatch covers are cored and very stiff. They are made to be deck hatches, to be stood on :)

They are fine fines hatches strong as balls...

At the rate I'm going with my boats .. You have plenty of time...lol

Haha, sounds familiar :)

I should have some pictures of the new (less finished) hatches next week sometime. Rectangle hatch is made, square mold is being made now.

Price is going to probably be about the same as the other ones, a little less because there is no hardware.

Thinking of other FRP parts we could offer.... any ideas? I will start another thread on this subject.

What about cored deck panels in 4x8 or 5x8. Would still be a shipping mess, but...

We have 1" honeycomb panels with glass for decks, they (like anything that size) has to go by freight truck

I would definitely be interested in a bow anchor hatch, Like whats on the SeeVee. For installing these hatches, do you just cut the hole and then 5200 it in place?

Just got three of the large rectangular hatches for my buddy's 28' BHM project. They are well made and gel coated, and come with the latch, hinges, and gasket.
Joel, regarding the hinges, do you suggest cutting out the deck below the loc nuts, if you need to access them?

Also I'd like some more sizes so I don't have to make custom hatches for my projects.

I would either cut so there is access, or pull the hinges off and later use screws.

The shop is now making a mold for a smaller square hatch.

I have another guy who is working on hatches that will be a little less finished. They will be sold without non-skid or any hardware. Hopefully these will be avaluable in the next feweek weeks.

Shine Please let me know asap as to when these hatches will be done. I will need some hatches for the transom and 5 small square.BTW what is the size of the square hatch?.

will do!

New Hatches
 

Shine,

Have you received the new hatch samples yet?

Ed

Not yet :(

I have a 14x18.5 hole in the stern of my boat. Currently
have an ugly plastic hatch. Do you have anything close to
this size? I could open up the hole a few inches each way if needed.

Soon, I will have a few new sizes, the smallest one will probably work, it will require an 18" square hole. With the gutters, these fiberglass hatches require a more space.

The fellow whom I am partnering with on these hatches is working on the plugs now, so they will be available in the next few weeks (hopefully) :)

Well you've got one order.

A customer rebuilding a seacraft sent me these pictures of one of our hatches going into his 23, he said it fit right in without any cutting - thats lucky :)

Has there been any progress or is the bow anchor hatch for the 23cc an idea yet? I have searched the Internet to all ends and can't find one that suits my needs....

Here's three of the large rectangular hatches installed in a 28' BHM.

its on the list, need to have a smaller trapezoid hatch made first, then we can make a piece to fit for hanging anchors

looks good, is he going to fair them in? I guess technically you dont need to, just epoxy them in the hole

We're not fairing them in, since the lip of the hatches sticks up very slightly, so you don't trip on them.
We're going to add more coats of paint around them, that will build up the edge.
Besides we don't want to mess up the pretty white gel coat!

I'll be ready for some unfinished hatches for my 18' SeaCraft project soon.
Hope you have the sizes I need.

[QUOTE=shine;241974]its on the list, need to have a smaller trapezoid hatch made first, then we can make a piece to fit for hanging anchors]
I don't really care about hanging the anchor, just to be able to set everything down in there. I don't want to buy the plastic hatch for up there.

[QUOTE=jnamowitz;241995]So your just looking for a smaller trapezoid hatch?
