If yer waitin' on free windows...buckle in for the long haul...my recent visit was 1st in a year or so...and Billy probably ain't lettin' parts slide out the door undetected...:devil:

Ok. Lol. Any idea who builds them? Might be going with acrylic as we have a local builder. But worried about scratches.

I've got to go by there this week, I'll ask him about who build the windows

jasoncooperpcola 10-28-2012 08:55 AM

Thanks Spare. The cost of the windows has really got me worried on the pilothouse build.

look thru "Commercial Fishing", it used to be a newspaper like magazine that had anything you ever wanted for a commercial fishing operation. IF that doesn't work, measure the windshields on an older Kenworth tractor. The ones with two front windshields. They are flat safety glass windshields with rubber gaskets that hold them in place, they used to be pretty reasonable as well(<$100 each)

wouldn't be too hard to rout tracks out of starboard and have safety glass
cut to fit...

I have been thinking about that. But what about rattling then cracking? Unless I keep my glass tight in the track.

The boats he builds are incredible. Not to mention what people say once they ride in one.....

I should be able to afford one in the next 300 years if my savings rate stays like it is. :party:

Reel do the front windows open? I remember the Sportsman had lift up windshield glass. It only lifted off the frame five inches but it was like ac. Always a good breeze coming thru. I may copy that design for my front windows.
