Emailed them, just got a reply. Talkative fellow... He talked about Sandy, trip to the Keys, etc $610 per window and $200-$350 shipping per window. I would post the email but cant do it from my phone. If someone wants to post their email or pm it, i will forward the email so they can post it.

I still think a 9/32 router bit, 3/4" Starboard and some safety glass would make up some pretty nice sliders...

I will have to agree with ya Reel. Thats the plan for the sides. The fronts are going to be a copy of the 250 Sportsman tilt up windows.

You might wanna verify the router bit size before you get too far down the road w/those sliders... it may need to be a little tighter...just not sure...but I think the concept is there...

Whats the thermal expansion rate of starboard? Is it enough to cause non opening windows in cold weather and loose rattly windows in the summer? I know of one person who would know.... MJ!!!!

I'd like to hear MJs thoughts on that as well...but yer talking about such a small expanse of material, I don't think it'll affect it...the floor hatches I made for my old '74 you could definately tell a difference, but those were WIDE X LONG so there was a lot of material to consider...the width of window slides is much less...
