Anyone have or know any for sale.

I have the older wooden slatted model. Looking to replace to with Lexan version.

Why not just fabricate one? Lexan is very workable, particularly if you're looking for a single piece cover.

St. Tammany Glass carries lexan. I'm going to go there this week to pick up some material for new portlights for my boat and for Hot Chocolate. Let me know if you want me to get a price for you.

I have a plywood companionway cover that I can bring to the club tomorrow night, if you would like. If it fits your boat, we can use it as a template.

Of course, you can try to find an existing cover, but where's the fun in that?

I like my old slatted version. It provides ventilation while sleeping with the boards up, and also when away from the boat.

I'm curious about the benefit you have in mind for the switch.

For clarification, I like the current slatted design, except when running a dehumidifier. When keeping the boat dry, I want to seal the cabin to prevent moist air from entering. So in a perfect world, I actually need three:

slatted
Lexan
Plywood with AC
