Bob,

I have windows if you need them. They are in Worcester, and I don't have a boat in the water.

Dug,

If you have a spare Port, Aft window.... I could use one.

Mike,

Not only do I have all the windows, I have the frames too.

Whatever you would like, its yours. I need to check to be sure there are no cracks but for real, any you want, take 'em!

Thanks. Mine is cracked. It happened a few years ago out in Shinnecock. It was so rough that the window actually cracked right there in the slip.......

Does anyone know who sells the felt that goes in the track? I have to replace my Starboard window this winter and the felt is shot.

I retreated to the Sound. I keep the boat about 3 miles from my house (instead of 65 miles…) in Glenwood Landing, at the Tappan Beach Marina.

If you watch this video in full screen, set to 1080p, you'll see a bit of it just after the camera points down. I'm three slips off the bulkhead.

the weather strip or "felt" is called poly-pile. Google it and fin-seal, and poly bond will come up. www.amesbury.com I think

IF YOU DO, I PLAN ON COMING UP TO SEE MY FRIEND IN SITUATE EITHER NOV5,6 OR 7TH I I COULD COME TO YOUR LOCATION TO PICK THEM UP. I BELIEVE MIKE OLDSTEIN ASKED FOR SOME GLASS ALSO. I COULD PICK HIS ALSO , AND DELIVER IT THEM TO HIM,I HAVE SOME OTHER CRACKED GLASS . IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF IT, I'LL MAKE A DONATION TO THE SITE. PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL 631 668 4064 OR E MAIL ME BACK SO I KNOW YOU RECEIVED THIS. I'M NOT SO GOOD AT THIS THANX AND BEST REGARDS BOB

Any local glass company should have the stuff you are looking for, if they do any work on boat windows.

Hey Guys,

Yep, I still have it all. Honestly I was recently trying to remember if anyone actually wanted them!

Bob, give me a ring at 617-592-4834 when you get a chance/or are getting ready to head this way.

Best,

Dug
