I agree, the plywood isn't holding up very well. I'm thinking of replacing my mine with tinted plexiglass. To keep the weight (and cost) down I'm thinking about using 1/4" and frame it with an additional 1/4" strip to fit the slides. What I'd reallly like to do is make a pair of doors but haven't woked out the design to be weatherproof. I had plexiglass doors on my previous NorSea for 5 years and never had any problems. Kudos to you all for the Northwest Cruise.

I have teak plywood hatch board that are absorbing water down the sides and coming apart. I have to replace them but I am not sure what to use. Replacing them with the same material is not a good option since mine are less than a year old. I was just wondering what others are using.
