Default fitted the hatch

Well had a late start. Went out in the gulf and tried out my buddies simrad evo side scan on some wreckage. Very cool stuff. Anyway drank a pitcher of beer at Hooters , so now I was ready to use high speed routers and measure precisely where this hatch is going. Well found centerline.double checked four times and then cut the opening. Dropped it on then outlined the flange. I put a straight edge, on top and noticed it was raised about a1/8" above the deck. So then took the router and flush fitted the hatch flange.. Mind you I still need to glass another layer of 1708 and 1.5 oz mat on deck to tie the hatch and new deck to old deck.so the around the flange are will be about 3 layers of 17/08
