: Well I can add yet another possibility to further cloud the waters :)

: You could use flush wood hatch lids with neoprene internal covers. It's done
: with pretty good sucess on many production boats.

There you have it, Bill! I have been wondering what to do with my NH and now I have it. I want the flush hatches but haven't thought myself capable of making them watertight. I have already decided to add channel drains to the openings. The neo-seal idea would be the finishing touch I need to move forward. As of now, I have been paddling without a front hatch cover and have therefore limited my paddling to fair weather days. I think I can move forward now. This means I will be able to paddle the NH during really crappy weather (my favorite time to be on the water) and see how it really performs (as if I didn't know already ;) )
