Reel do the front windows open? I remember the Sportsman had lift up windshield glass. It only lifted off the frame five inches but it was like ac. Always a good breeze coming thru. I may copy that design for my front windows.

Boatin' in your area...I would have to have the front windows hinged up..gots ta have tha BREEZE!...:party:
 
Thanks Kracker. The 1800 is a nice looking window. I will give them a call tomorrow and see if they can do an over the phone quote. Even if its not exact it should be close enough to give me an idea.

Reel, definately need opening windows here. Although right now they would be closed, back wall installed, and heaters blasting! Yeah I know its 50* here but I am a native Floridian. Lol its cold!

Even here in Upstate SC if I could fish all winter in 50* I'd be a HAPPY LAD!! Yer right, it's a relative thang....
 
Emailed them, just got a reply. Talkative fellow... He talked about Sandy, trip to the Keys, etc $610 per window and $200-$350 shipping per window. I would post the email but cant do it from my phone. If someone wants to post their email or pm it, i will forward the email so they can post it.

I still think a 9/32 router bit, 3/4" Starboard and some safety glass would make up some pretty nice sliders...

I will have to agree with ya Reel. Thats the plan for the sides. The fronts are going to be a copy of the 250 Sportsman tilt up windows.

You might wanna verify the router bit size before you get too far down the road w/those sliders... it may need to be a little tighter...just not sure...but I think the concept is there...
 
Whats the thermal expansion rate of starboard? Is it enough to cause non opening windows in cold weather and loose rattly windows in the summer? I know of one person who would know.... MJ!!!!

I'd like to hear MJs thoughts on that as well...but yer talking about such a small expanse of material, I don't think it'll affect it...the floor hatches I made for my old '74 you could definately tell a difference, but those were WIDE X LONG so there was a lot of material to consider...the width of window slides is much less...
