I need to replace the wood cover over the bilge. Looks like it is several sheets of wood glued together. Anybody replace one of these before?

Mine was real shot and delaminating. Ended up epoxying it together and clamping it, sanding, staining and sealing it. Turned out bring new. Not to thread jack, if anyone has a spare hatchboard (the lowest one), I could really use a new one, thanks.

I have a fin keel -- but one of the teak(ish) openings was in sad shape and I took it to a marine carpenter and over a winter he made me a new one for @$50.00 which has looked great ever after. You might see what furniture or marine carpenters are in your area and see what why would charge for proper replacement.

Great advice. There is a Rockler outlet near me. I'll get some epoxy and such and see what I can do!
