Im no good with fibreglass and my front hatch was broken into and is now trash (91 26S). Where can I get a new one or ......an old one maybe?

Good idea, might take some time but thanks. I am from Canada so shipping from down there might be big $ for me (and the middle of nowhere Canada). I was also hoping to upgrade the hatch if possible.
Next week I am shipping a diesel engine from Trinidad to the Port of Palm Beach, Fla for us$112 and change. I hardly think a hatch would be big$ unless you have it shipped next day air!
If you want to upgrade, I'm sure someone will be selling one of those too.
Im not sure about where you folks live but OMG the auto body shops would charge way more to fix it than even getting one shipped here from a long way away. And my boat is only worth about $6,000usd so I have not insured it for much and the deductible is high. I think I am more looking to get an aftermarket hatch as an upgrade with a better latch system and one of the piston openers that can hold it open (ideas?). If I can't do that then I will have to try to fix it myself (its been a long time since I have done any fibreglass work!)
Did they damage the "operable" frame or the "fixed" frame? Did they just break the plastic (plexi or lexan) and/or the cam latches?
Pictures, as JohnB asked would be helpful.

If the boat is a Macgregor 26S, does it have the fiberglass hatch? See the video above posted by an owner of a VERY nicely maintained 1995 boat.
