O’day 23 Madison,WI
I’m looking for a replacement for the frosted plastic forward hatch cover (the weirdly trapezoidal one) on my 1980 O’day 23. Anyone have a scrap boat or any idea where I might find one/ have one made?

Not sure of the shape you need.. a.photo helps.

A guy here made a nice plastic hatch panel from a sheet of smoke coloured lexan.

He bought the sheet from a local supplier and cut it to shape, sanded the edges etc..more or less like making one out of plywood.

Nice username btw.... Blessed are the cheesemakers....

Ok not a simple trapezoid curved panel.. has a lip on it....

Try Rudy Nickerson.
He worked for O'Day and should be able to help

Best to call instead of email.
They list a custom made fiberglass hatch, but who knows he may know where to find an original one.
