Looking for a 20 Moppie hatch

Post by romeomikehotel »

I’m hoping someone has a line on a front hatch or can point me in a direction. I’m having zero luck finding one and my restoration project is almost complete and I don’t want to be floating around in a complete resto missing parts. Thanks for any help and stay safe

I’ve seen some pics and it looks like the 20 hatch is very similar, if not identical, to the 28 (pentagon like).
Perhaps you could find a 28 hatch or copy one from a 28.

Don't know if it's a match.. But I have a 69' 25 front hatch that I'm not going to use. If they are the same let me know, it's in good condition.

Is the 20 a Napier or a Hunt design?
If its a Napier, chances are some elements, like the front hatch, are very similar.

If I recall, 20, 25 & 31 are all Hunt hulls, and all 3 have a very similar look. 28, 33, 35 etc I believe are the Napier hulls.
Do you have a picture and dimensions of the hatch you need?

I believe Tommy could solve the Hunt/Napier riddle!

Scott got it right, but add the early (1976 and earlier) 38 “widebody” models to the Hunt stable.

Thanks Tommy,

So Napier designed the 26, 28, 33, 35, 38 II, 42, 46.6, 50, 54, ...
From then on took over the Italians with three digit models 360. 390, 410... right?
