: Funny you should mention that. I've always favored the flush wood
: hatch, but..... VCP is starting to look intriguing.

The other option I have considered is cutting a wooden hatch per normal, attaching it with magnets, but instead of worrying about gaskets, put a shelf under the hatch that houses a deck plate. You'd still get the looks of the flush wood, but you'd get the simplicity and reliability of a deck plate.

. . . and Bryan is right. I'd probably use Kajaksport hatches, not VCP. VCP is too spendy.
