I would like to build a new lazarette hatch for my boat, as the old one is a heavy, unwieldy unit that seems to be finally starting to fail.
My thoughts are fiber glassed plywood, maybe with a welded aluminum backing structure or straight aluminum/powder coated and non-skid applied. Stiff and light would be the goal.
Has anyone done this before, and if so do you have any recommendations before I embark in a specific direction?
Thanks in advance.
