Aft Deck Doors?

[nautibake]

I'm finally going to replace the bone crusher Home Depot door installed by a PO. IMAG01571.jpg

I've looked through the brochures and searched the site. Can't seem to find a good example of what "original" Hatteras aft deck doors looked like. I believe they were teak French doors before Hatteras went with the sliders and that's what I hope to emulate.

If anyone has a good example or two it would be great to see a photo? Maybe I can even source some slightly used ones as opposed to having them made. The width is 36" total (so assuming 2 18" doors).

As always, many thanks in advance for any insights...

I hope I'm uploading this correctly.

Doubt you will find a cleaner, more original '58 than this:

Looks like a framed glass door that's hinged on one side.

Would have come with a sliding glass door.

Original on the 58 may have been a slider like on this 1979 58.

Yes, the glass slider was original to the 58 MY.

From the SAMS brochure archives:




If you are not hung up on originality a set of teak doors may look more traditional.

Good grief! Who picked that sofa fabric? Alfred Hitchcock?

Is it me or are you pushing a sale every time you post something?

C'mon man, some sideburns, sunglasses, Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned to your navel and a Mr.T. starter kit and you will look STYLIN' on that couch.
