Thanks for the feedback Chuck, it is very much appreciated. It feels like this project is taking so much longer than it has but I know I'm getting close to the finish now. I was out of town for work all this week so progress has been halted but I was able to find an anchor hatch and gutter set from my local boat recycler on my way home today. I've been stopping by every other week or so looking for one but today I finally scored one for $20. I removed the old hardware, coring material and excess glass. I plan on moving the hinges to the long side so it opens to stern. I wanted to keep it centered on the deck so I had to move it back a bit from the bow so that I'll have room to mount a trolling motor in the future. I must say I really lucked out with this one because the crown in the hatch matches the crown in the deck perfectly. I could not have planned it better. I also added a piece of leftover cap material to fill in the space at the bow bulkhead. Tomorrow I will start glassing the deck and gunwale cap to tie it all together.
