Category A / Area 2A hatch selection

[Scuff]

I need to purchase a foredeck hatch for new construction. Plans call for a 22"x22" hatch. I was looking at lewmar ocean and the bomar equivalent. Bomar is having production problems. In the past I had bomar 100 series hatch but too much money for my budget. Any insight/experience greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I was told by an experienced shipwright that the Lewmar Ocean is the only choice.

It looks like no stock for the 24x24 manship hatch but they do look very nice. Slug, is there a distributor for BSI in the US? Manship was really over my budget. Thanks for the info I'd never heard of either of them.
