I found it at the Boat Show

Boat Show
For those of you who didn't make the Newport International Boat Show in Rhode Island last September, let me tell you one thing you missed that was pretty kewl. In the booth on the aisle behind us I found Mariner's Hardware. These folks are known for making a variety of products for boats to improve the circulation of air. As any boat
owner knows,
circulation of air is what keeps a boat from getting mold and mildew.

Well, at this
show they were displaying some great new stainless steel hatches. These things looked like they were bullet proof, and they were really well

constructed. Looked like an elephant, or even I, could step on them.

They are available in a large variety of sizes, and the finish on the stainless is beautiful. They are a great replacement for old aluminum hatches, and can be added on boats that need a new place for a little air to get in.

So, if you've been looking for some good stainless hatches, give the guys at Mariner's Hardware a call. They can be reached by phone toll free at (877) 765-0880 or on-line at www.marinershardware.com.
