Strip: Large hatch hole, reinforcing recommended? *Pic*

Not sure whether to somehow reinforce the deck as only 3" of deck either side of the hatch hole remains. Was hoping to put another identical sized hatch behind the foward cockpit as well (Fast Double with 5Oz cloth on deck), has anyone experience of severe weakening due to large hatches ?
