I was thinking about a pedestal seat, but my "lid" is too long to take advantage of additional support by going through the seat (under the ends of the deck) as support. My main idea here was to get access to my gas tank (3 gal right now but going to a 6 gallon tank) to refill. Pulling the entire deck out each time to fill the gas can is excessive. I've also thought about starting over (I have a great template using the existing deck and I have more 5/8 plywood) and using a "real" hatch. (Something like attached)   I also want to stow PFDs and foul-weather gear under the deck and don't want to have to "fish" (LOL) around for them too much so the opening size has to be considered.It's funny, how, when you are ready to take a dive on a project's next step, you start double-guessing. My Resin and Matte arrived today! UGH!Just re-read your response....I need to think about splitting the hatch in two, like opening french doors....Kinda like it...meets some of my thoughts above.I really appreciate your feedback...makes me think.</blockquote>
