I assume Baja boats have stowage comparments with oval covers.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that it may be a door from a
locker on a boat called a "Baja". ;-))

Whether it is a boat manufactured under the name "Baja", or a model name from
another company is open to debate. Either way, if you don't have a "Baja
Somethingorother" or a "Somebodyelse's Baja" in your driveway, you probably
don't need it.

Perhaps that explains why there were no takers at $3.50 asked.

I think it's for a compartment where gronicles are securely stored.

James Woodward says:

Do you have a source for first-rate gronicles? I haven't seen one in
twenty-five years.

I may be out of date (duh!) but aren't gronicles the things that grow on the
_above_ water part of dead boats in mud berths? Should be easy enough to go
ouy with a cold chisel and collect a few dozen.

Steve "now - where's my lump hammer?"

Nah, they're of metal. The good ones are bronze.

I have a horrible feeling I should never have clicked on that link.......

I have checked my "Falconer's Marine Dictionary" from 1780 (OK - the reprint..)
and he doesn't mention the word, so it had obviously been out of use for some
time even then. Further research is indicated, as I'm sure you all have the
wrong end of the .... gronicle ;-)
