I'm about to replace my sole as well.   Availability of teak and holly isn't great in North Alabama and shipping is very high.  Considering two options currently, tongue and groove solid teak and maple or mahogany and holly.   Either would be bonded to the fiberglass sole.   Seems strange that solid wood would cost less shipped here.   My original sole came out in pieces as well. 

Dale,
   Your hatches turned out beautifully.   I have two spare hatch's .   I stripped one this weekend and smoothed it, next is etch, alodine, zinc chromate primer, epoxy primer, then paint.    Believe your post said you used an awlgrip product.   I'm considering an automotive silver metallic with clear coat.  Have your hatches aged well with their coating?
