I see no reason why you could not make your own transom bands. I used Mike at cutwaters.com. However, I made the trim for my 4 hatches. This is the stuff I used and the really nice polished side is beneath the peel off backing. Both sides are shiny, but the highly polished side is covered by the white peel-off strip. I used a metal cutting jigsaw blade and then my bench top belt sander to round the corners and smooth them. I still want to get a cut water for my boat but it will cost $500 if I use Mike. If I had another large piece of stainless, I could probably use my template to cut my own and have someone weld them:
If I can remember where I got this, I'll post it. I really thought I bought if from West, but I don't have a receipt. That makes me think that I actually got it from an ebay seller.
I can make hatch bindings but always refer customers to defender industries (The worlds best marine supply house) they have suppliers who mechanically punch the stuff out by the mile. Its only available in one width though. They also have s-steel hatch hinge. I would used a 4" cutoff wheel to cut it.
Nice job on those hatches!
