The original hatch cover on my Hunter 18.5 is very thin and brittle. I would like to replace it and figure I could copy the two pieces and cut them out myself. But does anyone have a recommendation for a better material to use? I don't know where I would find a similar teak plywood material.

If your boat is white, why not use some AZEEK board. I did this, inserted a port window. It comes in lumber widths. You will need to route or taper the edges to pit into the channel. Very strong and very lite.

Thanks for the suggestion. Took your advice and worked great.
