I was going to use sarboard to build the 2 hatches in the rear....But i decided to make a mold and build them from scratch...I am no professional by any strech of the imagination and they turned out "almost perfect" much easier than I thought is was going to be. I strongly recommend doing that I had a starboard hatch and they really dont look good. I ended up fabricating all of the hatches(2 in the back and the ancor locker and fish box) and very happy with the results! I made the mold out of an old formica cabinet door that i had laying around work perfect! You will also come out cheaper as the 3/4 inch starboard you will have to buy aint cheap! good luck
