The lazarette hatch on the boat when I purchased it was about 3" (75mm) oversize all round and the plywood base was seriously delaminated. The options were to repair the existing hatch, replace it with a modern alloy and plastic hatch, or build a new hatch (sized to fit) from the existing hatch.
The cheapest option would have been to replace the hatch with a modern unit, but being a bit of a traditionalist I decided to go for the third option and use the existing hatch to build a properly fitted hatch. Norm Wright from Wright Yacht and Boat services did an excellent job and if I did not know better I would have thought it was an entirely new hatch. Not cheap but as shown below worth every penny.
