Few things done

Drilling holes is fun!!!!

Did you think about putting the hinges on the side?

Put mine on the side so I didn’t have to reach so far to close it also made a cutout for the rope

I like it strait on and the friction hinges keep it up . I have 300 feet of anchor line that will stack up real nice around my pvc anchor holder will be fast and quick for moves. I have a lot of room to the sides were I can keep my 6 docking line for the Bahamas and keys out of the way. I am very happy with my 3 Gulfsream hatch’s and another thing a did not have time to build. I don’t think I could make them with time and materials for what they cost and they are very good quality. You did a nice job on yours. Should be easier to anchor in rough seas with out the step and not bending down to dg out of locker. I have 3 vents that will hide under the cap overhang . Capt chuck brought to my attention about mold hoping it will help.
