Wow, that’s a great idea... Was this aluminum or stainless, and what gauge did you use for the flat portion?

It’s all aluminum and the top plate is a 1/4 inch thick.

Almost done with mine. I'll continue to post pictures in the 1995 super sport restoration thread. I don't have everything finished but here is what I've done so far. Upholstery and cushion will run up to the edge of the aluminum plate.

Hi Chris,
Looks like your well under way , post more progress pics when you can ! Do you know how much your total bill will be ? Thanks

I'm not sure on the cushion and vinyl as I did this at the same time as the rest of my boat.

That said, just the walk through and not the single to tri hatch conversion costs are below:

pvc sheet: $35
Aluminum sheet 3/8: $140
Stainless Steele hardware: $12
Pour foam: $60
Resin: $35
Chip brushes, cups, sticks: $15
Fiberglass: $30
Seadek: ?
Upholstery and cushion: ?

Seadek is also being done at the same time as the rest of the boat. I'd estimate $200 or less though for this piece. But that's just a guess. They also did the cnc for free.

Updates in about a month or so.

A few photos of me leveling the hump so the pvc and aluminum sit level. I created a ****, then sanded and sawed it level. Covered it with 4 layers of fiberglass/resin.

Starting this project on my '08 210 TE. Curious if anyone has done this recently. Looking at options but I've decided to use the existing hatch lid. On this particular model it is composite board, so no issues with it being uneven. My current plan is to have a custom cut piece of Coose board to put down on top, then seal and paint and have Seadek made to cover the top

I did this job 5 years ago ended up having a friend make a new engine cover out of aluminum and had it powder coated and a seadek put on top, I felt this option was best for many reasons, here are some pics

Looks great. I'm worried I would be able to find someone to fabricate something like that with the irregular shape. Yours turned out with a truly professional custom look.
