Ultralite Pre-Built Welded Dry Hatches with Waterproof Drainage System - Designed for Low Traffic Areas

NOTE: Not recommended in high- traffic areas for people over 250lbs.

For Standard Grade .125" Dry Hatches visit the regular lid page here 

Economy Dry hatches are made out of .062" Gauge Aluminum - a step down in thickness and stiffness from our standard Nate's Dry Hatches designed for ultra-light builds and low-traffic locations to save on weight and cost. Similar to the lid thickness you'd find on older Tracker Bass Boats.

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

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

Full install tutorial below:

*NEW INSTALL OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO SAVE YOU TIME*

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

Depending on your choice of variant and speed, you can expect between 1.5 hours at wide-open throttle to over 5 hours at trolling speeds. Both options offer exceptional range.

Absolutely. The sea eagle fishskiff completely deflates and rolls up, while the electric outboard motor features a quick-release battery and foldable design, eliminating the need for a trailer.

This varies heavily by country and region. While electric outboard setups often bypass strict gas engine regulations, many locations still require a basic watercraft registration for any motorized sea eagle boat.

Absolutely. The sea eagle boat features a high-pressure 1000 Denier drop-stitch hull that inflates up to 15 psi, making the deck as rock-solid as a rigid fiberglass platform so you can cast with total confidence.

Yes, both the sea eagle fishskiff and the epropulsion motor are fully engineered for harsh marine environments. The motor features high-quality anodized aluminum and powder coating to resist corrosion, though we always recommend a quick freshwater rinse after a salt run.

You can go from a completely packed car trunk to floating on the water in roughly 12 to 15 minutes using an electric pump, completely eliminating the need for boat ramps or storage fees.

Yes! The integrated lithium battery supports on-the-go charging via compatible solar panels, allowing you to seamlessly extend your range on sunny days while running your epropulsion motor.
