Hunter 33 forward hatch question

[Phil Herring]

Hey Cherubinis, we've got a customer trying to replace the forward hatch on a 33. We don't have much in the way of specs on that boat, the records were lost many years ago.

Does anyone know the cutout dimensions of the forward hatch?

I'm assuming the H33C is like the ones I've seen and worked on over the past 40 years.
If it is, and therefore very similar to my H30C as far as hatches go,
I can measure my forward hatch from the inside and around the mounted frame outside.
But, since I have never removed it, I don't have the exact dimensions of the cutout itself.
Would those measurements be helpful? If so, I will have them for you on Saturday.

How about a used hatch in decent condition?

If interested I can check it against my old H 33. The guy I sold it to has be one a good friend. Although looking at the dates now I might be a little late to the party!
