Timmy,

I encased the original aluminum front window sections completely in fiberglass,
gelcoated them, & glazed the windows in from the inside. Then
Regino Cabrera glassed and faired them permanantly onto the boat.
Came out good, but was a real big job...
Blow by blow details

Thats a fine looking craft, the attention to detail reminds of looking at a bunch of your other toys on A1A some years back with the gang from the flophouse. They also looked that good Really great job
Like U.V. has said ,many times,,, Time, Patience, and $$$$

As I say every time I see a high-maintenance woman,
Hurt me, hurt me, make me write back checks!
That gave me a shot of adrenaline.
BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to see it in person.

Now, where was I??
Oh yea, weld the arch, repair the ZF, apply the rub rail, install the props, design and install the interior and . . . oh, yea, launch in the spring!
