Jay,

You can get them from Great River Outfitters in Waterford, MI. Their website is:

http://www.rapidstyle.com/GRO/retailprices_accessories.html

Their price is $115 for a large oval VCP hatch and mounting rim, and $47 for the 7.5" round VCP hatch and mounting rim. This sounds a little pricey to me, but VCP hatches always sound pricey to me no matter who's selling them. Just make sure wherever you order that you're ordering a COMPLETE set (i.e., hatch AND mounting rim) as some places sell "replacement" hatch covers without the rim. I'm assuming you're mounting them to a newly-built boat and will need the rim too.
