She is 33 ft long and 10'6" wide. 480 Cummins 5.9. Like everything in life, It has taken me much longer to build than I thought. I really want to build a 41-45 convertable when she is finished.

Looking real nice there Shay. Next time you're out and about on the skiff, come on in the creek.

Engine hatch and day hatch. 1" 14 lb foam with one layer of 1708 on both sides.... Probably going to need a few stiffeners on the backside though.

Hey Shay, how wide are those hatches? They look about 36" from the pics. One layer of 1708 on that foam is definitely not enough but you might try adding a second then waiting two or three days for it to cure out hard. It might suprise you! A third layer on the bottom goes against the balanced laminates rule of thumb but it shouldn't potato chip too bad and it is "just" a hatch.

Do you have any 1800 or 1808 laying around? The 0/90 degree weave will be stronger than the =/- 45 since the fiber length is shorter going straight across the panel. I may have some lying around here somewhere if you don't.
