Replacement VCP hatch covers

Advice
#1

Who these days might have the large oval VCP hatch covers in stock (hopefully at a price less than my annual income)? I am in South Texas so it needs to be someone who does mail order.

Yeah you can get them at the Kayak
Centre in Wickford, RI. However, having dealt extensively with both TKC and The River-Connection I personally would choose The River-Connection hands-down. Of course ymmv.

Ordered from River Connection
Thanks all. Decided on the regular VCP cover from River Connection. Marshall helped me out a few years ago when I was spending a month paddling around New York. Not only did he sell me some good replacement gear for some stuff I damaged in the middle of the trip, but helped me figure out some nice paddling trips and even managed to hook me up with some locals so I did not have to do everything solo.



He is a nice guy. Just remember to never ask him “What else do you have that I might need?” unless you are way below your limit on your credit card :slight_smile:
