Dave,
Your estimate is a little dated. Below is an A&H estimate (Mar 2020) to
refurbish the original forward hatch (A&H model XR300) on 1974 C&C 35 Mk2:
Labor- $250
1/2” lens - $500
Gasket - $55.65
Seals for through hardware - $65
Polishing anodizing $200
Total $1070.65
Shipping back and forth is usually in the $60-$80 range. USD$ pricing

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

pulling all my deck hardware I needed a replacement, ergo the mismatch.
Although not as sexy as the Lewmar Ocean hatch

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…

Any time I can buy the materials and do the work myself, the money I
save buys a new tool for me. If you buy a standard size piece of
acrylic, you can cut the hatch lens yourself, and also not have to
pay for the labor and wasted pieces of acrylic that you didn't use.
So, for a piece of 19" x 19" you might be paying for a piece of 24" x
48" (or whatever width the acrylic comes in) plus labor. If you can
get the old lens out, you can cut the new one, and use a router and
pattern bit to make the new one. I'm sure you can find a use for the
leftover acrylic.

Since this seems to be hatch week, here goes after numerous calls
and checking around:
To have new glass and gaskets put in my hatch by someone else -
$450 to $600 est.
Parts to DIY - Probably at least $300, getting a 19x19x1/2" piece
of cast acrylic cut is not cheap plus the gaskets and sealers.
Buying the acrylic pre-cut is about $550 from AH.
Brand new Lewmar Ocean 60 hatch - about $600.
New AH hatch - $1800.
I am trying to wrap my mind around it being about the same to
just buy a new hatch as pay someone to fix it. Does anyone have
an opinion on new Lewmar Ocean (not the cheap low profile ones)
vs. 47 year-old A-H?
This all started because my gaskets are getting a bit ratty, but
I have this fear one day I'll step right through the hatch at
some point. The UV has to be doing a job on it coming up on 50 years.
