RE: M_Boats: Hatchboards

Tod, I prefer three Hatchboards because the bottom board, when left in place, gives you a bridgedeck. That lower board will, however, make cabin access somewhat awkward (especially for your four legged crew). GRACE has custom doors rather than Hatchboards with the lower part of the doorframe forming a bridgedeck with the resulting long step down into the cabin. I was thinking of building some sort of step/storage box combination to alleviate that problem. The idea hasn't developed yet due to it's place on my priority list for modifications! Mark
