A hole saw is good for a sighting shot, but resiting and enlarging is easier with a padsaw or fretsaw, hand or powered.

Nothing worse than a powered tool that isn't totally controlled!

When working on a boat I use a seesaw...

I added a port to access the speedo cable fitting.

The whole cover was a one-off.  More pics here:

Wow. What a project. What a floorpan too. Fabulous. I like the look you've got on the cover panel and that's a great seal. I aspire to something similar .... on an ABS bought one mind you.

The fibreglass repair thread will likely have been Colin L (and I think is in this months Courier too). Andy Cook (I think) had a relatively recent article (past year or so) on making a hatch for one of the ABS tunnels too which you should be able to dig up. 
 

https://www.tssc.org.uk/tssc/uploaded_files/500 February Courier 22.pdf Page 32 for Colin’s article, will see if I can find the other.

 

Edit: can’t find the hatch making article in my paper copies, I don’t keep hold of them long anymore though. My internet is being extra slow so I don’t fancy going through all the online back issues! 

Thanks Josef, my paper copies only go back to June last year. Andy is in my area. We both go the monthly meet. I emailed him and these are his articles. They are very handy:
