Today my Ship came in

for several years I have wanted to participate in the NYS Barge Canal
Flotilla, but it just wouldn't work with a sailboat, So now I own 7
boats (counting inflatables 3) dingys 1, OB 1, sailboat 1, and now a 22'
Crestliner cruiser with a BIG V8 engine (just in time for the price of
gas to increase).

The boat is an 81, and in good shape for it's age with 1 (sorta minor,
but I'd like to fix it) exception.

the front hatch is broken where it meets one of the hinges. It looks
like some sort of composite material, and someone before me tried to
glue it unsuccessfully.

I'd like to replace the hatch cover, but Crestliner (as far as I can
find with a quick Goggle) no longer makes boats of this nature

Yes I could probably make a new one, or buy a whole new hatch, but I'm a
cheap SOB, and would like to find just the cover.

Any suggestions as to good places to look?

Congratulations! Any possibility of posting a picture of the hatch cover. Did
you contact Crestliner? When I had a bent bow rail the Proline folks didn't
carry any more, but they were able to tell me who manufactured it. Perhaps you
could call them and get an old one cheap.
