That's just about exactly where and how big my hatches are on my Petrel. I used internal bungees, they are very secure but a pain in the neck. Maybe a hybrid would be good...internal up front, straps in the back? I didn't need any stiffeners and it's still leak tight. My build is posted on blueheronkayaks forum.
