Can you post pics of what the boat area looks like? My explorer doesn't have that hatch so I'm at a loss. Can you make it out of starboard?

What model walkaround do you have I have a 2000 275 explorer it has no anchor hatch.

miky2884 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 14, 2009, 05:39:17 PM »

2000 215 explorer.

I think that is the same model as one of the Wellcraft lineup so I'm not familiar with those - SeaBob can fill us in.

Yeah, we kinda guessed that by now

But on a lighter note, how is the room in the cabin area?
Sooner or later, I'm getting a wac just don't quite know when.
I'd love to stay with the old style Aqua but the "Wellcraft" style looks nice too.

That looks like 1/2 inch starboard you can make that yourself using that one as a template all you need is a router and a flush trim bit.That is probably custom for that boat and would be hard to find.You could find someone local if you do not want to tackle it yourself.

Its actually 1 inch thick, and yes i was thinking of making it out of starboard, but 2 things have me concerned. One being there is a curvature in the hatch because the bow of the boat where it goes has a curvature to it, Second where the hinges get mounted that area is built up about a 1/4 of an inch i don't know how i would build that up because where the hinges are on the boat end is built up as well. I thought it would be easy to copy but its a little more complicated then it looks.

And yes i have tons of room in the cabin, I have looked at many other boats the same size as mine, and none of them compare to the amount of room i have in the cabin head room and length, overall i am happy with the boat.

Thanks Miky.
Is that extra room because the walkways are reduced on your model hull?
