Jesse, I bought unfinished 3-piece hatch boards from Bob Eeg. If I remember right, they were in the $120 range. I didn't do this, but I'd highly recommend coating them well with epoxy prior to finishing them--even though they are billed as marine grade, mine delaminated a bit at one corner (Bob warned me to water proof them thoroughly, but I apparently didn't do a good enough job.).
Maybe someone on the list can remind me of the name of the fellow back east who owns or works at the sea kayak outfit. He's contributed a good bit of information regarding refinishing things... t

Hi Jesse,
When I got my M15 home from Panama City, FL I found that the bottoms of
the companionway hatch boards were totally delaminated, and badly needed
replacement.
I got some teak plywood and built new ones; adding a teak louver (from WEST Catalog) to the uppermost board for better ventilation.
Bob Eeg can probably supply you with the milled toe rail pieces if you don't want to make them yourself.
