I would think building a wood hatch board would be a fun project. I've always liked the older, removable version more than the newer one. Also though the aluminum toe rails were a lot more practical than the teak ones. My 2 cents. t On Sun, Dec 7, 2014 at 7:47 AM, <ndorf@surfbest.net> wrote:

I am open for suggestions on where to obtain a hatch for a Montgomery 17. A very good friend and fellow Montgomery 17 renovator has had his main companionway hatch stolen. His boat dates from around 1974. I am not sure what use it could be to anyone else. We searched the vacant lots around his work area thinking some prankster was having a creative moment but to no avail. Any information would be appreciated.

Tom, I ran across an old Monty that is being used as a lawn ornament. If you'd like I can make contact with the owner and see if they'd be interested in selling the hatch. Here is a pic of the hatch. The boat was built in 1973.
