Advice for vinyl replacement for engine hatch. Sea Dek?

[Phil8uga]

I have a 2005 SANTE 210. Has anyone replaced the engine hatch vinyl with Sea Dek to create a walk through hatch? Can this be done? Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated.

It can be done. Roswell did this to their old school 210.

Thanks Jeff. So it can be done! What type of business (marine body shop/fiberglass repair) should I start with? Just curious on the cost before I replace the engine hatch.

I did my entire engine hatch. Love it!! it's 1/2 inch white acrylic with sea dek over it. The fiberglass is very rough once you take off the vinyl and foam so you have to do something... Acrylic seemed like the easiest/best option

That looks awesome. Did you do it yourself? If so, was it difficult?
