Gents:

Nice discussion on the magnet/ball catch latching mechanism. That has been a very good addition to the topic, and I think that will be my hold open system instead of a hook.

In my original post, I included a picture of the door - but it is not original to the Seafari. I scrounged it from a barn from a guy that had parted out a bunch of old boats. From the hardware I took off it, I believe it is at least from the 30's or 40's and mahogany, from a classic runabout.

I sanded it down this weekend, but have not added the finish yet - and the grain is nice and tight, clear and has a lot of character. I ordered hinges that lift off for convenience. I can install it either direction, hinge left or right, but am leaning towards left because the door is already drilled for latch on the right. It is designed with an outer screen and folding inner panel for ventilation. Here are a couple of shots of the inside of it before sanding.
