Default Where to get Baja parts???????

I am in need of the top lid for the cabin door on my 280 Sportfish. The part that flips up, not the sliding door itself. Any ideas where to get one?

I have emailed Baja and XT Innovations this morning, but haven't heard back from either one yet. No matter how many times you tell people not step on the plastic hatch, it goes right in one ear and out the other. Apparently not rated for 250#

Is it acrylic, plastic, or fiberglass?

Send it to a glass guy and have it made out of sturdy fiberglass that can hold up to the 250# chickees. Glassdave is popular here for good reason.

I hope you mean two chickees, that their combined mass adds up to #250

Maybe in Canada, here in the good ole USA they tend to run a little larger

Plenty of experience with that shortcoming . People just seem to seek out the most vulnerable parts of someone else's boat and then do destructive things with them that they weren't made for.
I don't know if you can actually buy them already done up but I had a sign maker fab up some 3" round stickers that look like the Ghostbusters logo but with a foot instead of the Stay Puft man on them and the words 'No Step'
They certainly are visible and they seem to work .
