Joe, I have both <https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMx0nFLDW6xl4xCpr-jTfdV-zp1-Quvwm_2HS62> an original 24” x 24” Atkins and Hoyle hatch and a new 24” Lewmar Ocean hatch on my boat. Because I stupidly bent the lower frame <https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipPIn4ALMGZdZjgL4JbSdlKXcYpr3ZPgWWt8zsFd> while pulling all my deck hardware I needed a replacement, ergo the mismatch.
Although not as sexy as the Lewmar Ocean hatch <https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNi6CPoYD8rPp8pvef2fz2b8R-QQxLmG0Jga57J>, I think that the A&H is a much sturdier and rugged item. As others have noted, around $600 USD. The good news is that it was 90% drop into place and matching up with the C&C finished cutout. And the A&H can be reversed if you have a mind. I had A&H completely rebuild both hatches back in 1998 and with shipping it came to ~$600 USD per hatch… Regards, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/> > On Jun 25, 2020, at 3:26 PM, ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Joe: > > Any time I can buy the materials and do the work myself, the money I save > buys a new tool for me.
