I need to move to Washington. Everything there costs a ton less than
Annapolis!!!!!!!!!!
* we actually have thought of it if work would let me stay home forever
or at least only go in once a week, our closest office is Durham.

You might want to keep shopping for the Acrylic. When I rebuilt the 27x27
A&H foredeck hatch on Imzadi before the trip to Bermuda in 2017, I bought
the lens for my hatch from a local glass shop that does commercial windows.
They used the old lens as a template and drilled the holes in the corners
for retaining screws and milled out the recesses and holes for the hatch
dogs. And the total cost was something like $75-80. Though they did have a
partial sheet of 1/2" material in inventory so they did not need to order a
new, complete sheet of the stuff.
The 1/2" seal for the hatch came from Lowes, along with the 3M trim
adhesive to install it, some rubber and nylon washers to seal the hatch
dogs, and the 3M stuff to remove the silicone the PO had used to seal the
lens. The most expensive thing in the project was the Sika295 and primer to
glue the lens into the old frame after it had been cleaned up.
Fussy work, but very doable and fairly inexpensive compared to the cost of a
new hatch - particularly a new A&H hatch.
