Mike,
I was thinking about chopping the bert cabin top to make something like this. By doing so I could retain the deep cabin that's already there

John
You def have a point!
What do you guys think about something like this though:

Cam,
That second link is a buddy of mines boat. He is a commercial fisherman from the northeast. Very nice guy and I know there is way more money in that boat than he is asking. I hope he sells it. Wonder if he put it on this site??

Did some fiddling on my iPhone and chopped a few photos to come up with this hybrid. Proportions may not be correct but like I said was done mobile

Cam,
That Steiger is great! Putting that on the table for sure

Thanks Rocket and Cam Gonna check out the windshields and roof assembly for ease of removal. I Like the depth of the cabin cuz I'm 6'1 and can walk in there. So retaining an ammount of that would've great. I'll also look around for a FB but I do think the express is unique in its roofline and window...

Thanks guys, I like the idea of twins out back. Although she originally had twin I/0s I'm thinking of using that under cockpit space for live wells, new fuel tank / tanks and fresh h20 rez. Would be nice to have some a/c as well. The idea is to use her for off shore trolling and reef fishing on the ...

Gonna take some serious thought. I've been. Playing with the idea of installing a flotation bracket and hanging some OBs. in back open up the cockpit.

Recently acquired a b25 express withnot motors or I/0 setup. Boat it solid camdidate and was looking for some ideas on customizing her. Like removing windshield and adding a hardtop. Glass in the front windows etc. I want to make as much cockpit room as possible. I saw the one that Mike at canvas de...

Ok I got it figured out. To remove u take the metal sliding handle and remove it, allowing u to remove black plastic tracks. This gives the window ability to "pop" out. Not sure if this is stock set up?? http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n484/eccologico/F44D187B-A0F2-4C5B-8A34-CD566146FC9F-1430-00...

I bet they make less noise too. Any pics of the eisen glass ?
Thanks spencer.

Side windows actually. I think the front ones screw out. there aere some screws under the cap but mine are super rusty. i figured they hold the track in but, was hoping there was a secret handshake....
Thanks Mark

Hey guys
I'm looking to replace the windows on my b25 project. Has anyone ever done this? What is the best way to proceed? Mine are still attached to orig alum frames.

Many thanks
Nick

Here is a pic of the b25
This is how I found her.

This boat was a inboard from 1967 according to title . I picked it up in a field in okeechobee, fl. It had been sitting for some time when I got it. But what attracted me to it was the aluminum tower (similar to Spencer's) and the bracket on the beefed up transom. I knew that the evinrude 235s werea...

Thanks for the info guys, When I got the boat almost everything had been stripped so I didn't have much to go on but other people's photos. Under the cap seems like a good option since I won't have so many bends and won't be putting hopes in the sole. Also means I can get the sole in w/0 having to w...

I was thinking of running all cables etc through a PVC tube along side the stringer (under the sole)from the lower side console back to the transom where I could get the out board controls to the motor. My concern is if there will be too many bends in the shift controls for the outboard. I also do n...

Hey guys I have a ? About rigging my b25 hardtop. Currently I am replacing the sole and all the framing underneath. Everything was stripped down to the stringers. They remain intact. The boat was converted to outboards on a bracket by previous owner. PVC pipe under sole? Or under cap down the gunnels?
