Vince, try calling the guys at Seaboard Marine out here in CA. They did a new set of windows on one of their refits. Really nice looking.
Not sure if they did from scratch or bought a set. I have spoke to them about other stuff, really nice guys.
Let me know what you find out as that is something I want to do in the future.

As I recall a guy on the B33 forum (name = Buzz Kistler, screen name = Buzzoff) has a friend here in NC that was making replacement windows for a lot of different boats. If you cant get onto the site drop me an email and I will get hold of Buzz for you.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve contacted look out and they are awesome but they wanted 5-6 k for the a sold front windshield plus I had to bring them my old frame so they could make a mold. I am attempting to build mine own I figure for around 700 bucks in material I mine as well try to build one myself. If it doesn’t work out then I’ll pursue a different route .... I’ll keep you updated just built the mold. Going to be laying up glass for side windows hopefully Friday

5-6k for the front 4 windows with fiberglass frames and See through glass windows? That actually seems to be a reasonable price, maybe I have it wrong

Sorry I might not have been clear. Fiberglass front windows like no front windows just a fiberglass windshield. Can’t see out. Side windows will be done after I finish the fronts!

That is not installed. Vince still has to get it in place.
