I have a 1970 Bahia Mar. My cabin side windows are rectangular. I have seen pictures of some Bahias with an almost footballish shaped window (see the Bahia picture from Tropic Star) ... did the windows change at som point or are these an aftermarket modification ?
thanks

Bertramp, my 66 has triangle shaped side windows..Im going the hardtop route with fixed windows like Brewster has on the Comorant Princess..like the idea of being in a tank..seen alot of variations of original windows with sweeping curved side windows, I believe Cabreras makes a similar style. I will try to find a picture, I believe Dos AMigos has a custom made windsheild. BH

mine has the original shape but new and fixed windows, if i need air i just open up the side curtains

I was referring to the window that is openable from inside the cabin, not the windshield triangular side window.
Charlie ... did you do a seal of sorts on that side rectangular window ?
Bob ... amazing how similar our boats are. When I bought mine, it was in a shop very similar the picture you posted .... I did a double take !!

the owner before me did all the upgrades complet rip out with the exception of the cabin, iam sure they were bedded with something, iam starting to get a few leaks in the front bottom. , if and when the top side gets refinished ill pull the windshield off and re bed it

and the window Bertramp's referring to is definitely an update / upgrade.

those windows are nice and definitely make a boat more modern looking.

Easy to install and are inexpensive. You can get them with no visible screws which is a nice touch. Not having to be at the mercy of someone to custom make them for you is a huge plus.


before and after, makes a boat cleaner looking

Who is manufacturer of the windows shown above ? They look great ! Do they open or are they fixed glass ?

Bomar/Pompenette.
They open in and have removable screens

just personal preference but i hate those windows. i hate those upright oval windows also and i especially hate those half round windows with fake mullions they use on houses. when it comes to windows i am extremely opinionated.......carry on.

Randall ... was that opinionated ? ... no !! ...really ? ...nah !!
:-D
How much snow on the east end ?

not a flake!!!.....10 miles offshore it snowed all day.

so you like the old black plastic rectangular window better?

no...i dont like those either...bah humbug.

that porthole window looks a million times better real nice fit you did there.robbie sort of reminds me of the scuppers you turn me on to. how can you even compare to stock there are no words ,makes the boat a show piece at the transom.-------------thanks

Just looked at Bomar/Pompanette catalog on line. Will seal up windo leaks and look a lot better .... I'll be there shortly.

bertramp- you are on Long Island those windows dont cost alot of money, if you are interested in them let me know.

Or have any of your sources order them out of the Lewis Marine Catalog

The Bertram and I are in Ft. Lauderdale, but the parts should be accessable here. I'm in Sag Harbor weekends in spring, summer and fall.
thanks

dont let the list price scare you

Bertramp-I hope to fly fish for Bass in your local waters this year from my B-20 Bahia Mar I'm presently repowering. It will be kept in 3-Mile Harbor. Will you be keeping a B-31 in Sag?

Had a B25 Bahia, a 28 FBC and a 31 FBC in Sag at different times, all called BERTRAMP. The 31 Bahia I now have came from Southampton, you may know Bill Clair. I have an old 45 Hatt (Good Bait) in Sag on the town dock (Marine Park) and I'll bring my 21 Whaler up for the warmer weather. My 45 wintered at Montauk Marine Basin two winters ago for the removal of a tower and installation of a hard top.

Bob Lico What are the scuppers you are referring to, thx

i purchase a replacement set of scuppers for my boat after the paint job.robbie took one look at them and gave them the thumbs down sigh. he order me a 316 stainless ones from a company called gemlux (sp.?)they look great and fit the contour of the transom perfectly.the material they use for the flap never drys out and closes tight from outside water.maybe robbie has a better picture.

is that it?
They've got a great lineup of great products at good prices.

yep those are the ones, exceptional workmanship and perfect fit.

the flap is neoprene.
Gemlux is a great company, they had offered to set me up with a retail POS but I dont have the space or traffic for it, I think they were trying to get into the retail end of it because now they are a major OEM supplier.

Some of their plumbing fittings are unique items that are hard to find elsewhere, their hinge selection is simply awesome as well.

Bayhead skiff ??

yes it is

Bob and Buju , thx a bunch

Check out Bomar, Lewis has them in S florida and I get a break on pricing, call me
