Drop-in Dry Hatch Lids - Pre-Built

Pre-Built Welded Dry Hatch Lid with Waterproof Drainage System from Nate's Custom Boats


*ALL SIZES ARE ON A 2-4 WEEK LEAD TIME*

These lids are built to order. "Pre-Build" means they are fully assembled and ready to drop in once you get them (unless purchasing carpet gap) - NOT that they are premade and ready to ship.

Cannot be pushed to front of the line under any circumstances. 

*Powder Coat adds 2 week lead time 

Just drop in your deck and rivet or screw it down for a strong, flex free, and waterproof dry hatch system. Includes Pre-assembled hinge and welded boat deck hatch lid. Strong, lightweight, and easy to install. Get your boat build finished in no time! 

Made of heavy duty .125" Aluminum - they are strong enough for even the biggest passengers on your boat deck. 

Carpet Lids will not come prebuilt - You need to add the hatch frame to your framing, apply the decking, carpet the decking and the track system as one. Carpet the lids separately, then attach the hinge to the lid then the track system using provided countersink rivets.      

Countersink rivets are suggested to attach the track system to the deck framing, these are not included.

REAR HATCH - 3 sided Dry Hatch with extended Dry Track on two sides that butt-up to your transom. This will allow space between the lid and transom to run fuel lines or bilge pump hoses through if need. Also, you DO NOT need a latch with a rear lid!
