220 Sundeck - FRONT HATCH...???

[Caren]

Hi all,
I am a newbie on this site, but am DESPERATE to find a solution to my broken front hatch... It was docked when a storm came up, and the only damage to the boat was that the front hatch (covering the front ladder and anchor well) was cracked right in half (crazy, right!? It happened when the boat was bobbing back UP and hit the dock from below...!) ANYWAY - the SeaRay dealers tell me the hatch is no longer available, and that SeaRay has DESTROYED the mold for making new ones. Grrrrr. The boat is a 2004, and the new hatches are different and won't work - of course!?
Can ANYONE out there help me? Noone here (upstate NY) wants to repair it, as people stand on the hatch to jump off the front,... so it has to be STRONG enough. I appreciate ANY ideas or suggestions at all

Thanks so much! :smt038

P.S. Anyone have a 2004 Bowrider 220 they can't use any more? I will take the front hatch ))

Do you have any photos of the damage? Upload a pic. You might be able to strengthen it and reglass it.

Hi,
I just heard from SeaRay that I might be able to use a BOW HATCH from any year between 2002 through 2008!

That is great news, and MAY make my search SLIGHTLY easier...!?!? Anyone out there have a BOW HATCH for the 220 Sundeck from any year between 2002 - 2008???

I need to find the photo, but local dealers say it won't be stable enough if repaired - it broke right in half into 2 pieces ;(

Thanks!

I did a quick search and found this, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004...53811?pt=Power_Motorboats&hash=item337f01c253 Maybe you can find one similar or contact the insurance company.
