Cabin window refit

Your pix really exemplify why shortchanging on maintenance is false economy. You can see all of that silicone that somebody gooped in the windows instead of taking them out and rebedding them... But hey, it's a beautiful old boat and you're doing it the right way.

Who did you get to make your windows? I found a place to do the three bow seat windows on my 46 in aluminum frames, 1/4 glass, with an openable center window. $1375 sure seems like a pile of dough for three leetle teensy windows though...

Motion Windows provided me with the quote a few months back. Their product looked quite nice. The hinges, attachment clamps, and stay (for the center window) were all very robust; much better looking than the others I looked at.

My outboard windows are 33x13 parallelograms and the center, openable window is a 44x12 square. The outboard windows were $340 and the center was $732. Do you have two windows forward or three?

Good workz

Calvin would be pleased.
Keep up the great work - we'll be sending an inspector around in the spring.
Cheers!

Looks terrific! I'm glad I'm not the only one slaving away on a Roamer.

Now the flybridge is off look better or?

Mama get a hammer,...

..., baby's gotta a fly(bridge) on his head.
Some love'em, others think not.
Still others think the factory bridge could use some customization:

All pretty valid thoughts.
In any case, glad to see the Roamer flag being carried high in Scandinavia.
Now, about that "extra" flying bridge - when's it going on eBay and how much?
You could definitely get a good (wooden) mast and set of rooftop hand rails with the proceeds.
Cheers!

Hope learn more how to attachthepictures here.Have some problems with the size of the pic but have the hole winter to learn jepp the bridge is for sale but have a problem "the Atlantic ocean"

You have a Roamer. Why should the Atlantic Ocean be a problem?

Oh...right...none of you "gotta keep it original" guys have fuel-sipping Ford Lehmans or 3000 mile range. hehehe

sry for the threadjack. ;-)

That is a good one, great engines and great range.

I have gotten aluminum window frames made for my Roamer and now on to getting a welder to install. I am seriously thinking of put aluminum over the salon also and getting rid of the fiberglass. Anyone do this will replacing the windows? I am thinking of putting a hatch in so if I want to replace any things I don't have to take it all apart just pull the hatch.

I am getting anxious to get the window tracks, going to have middle sliders with the back fixed as it is today. Major difference will be the aluminum frames.

Funny you should mention the framed windows in the salon. We're about a month or two from putting windows in and I've spent a good, solid half-hour staring at the gaping holes where the windows used to be, trying to envision how aluminum would work. I've even considered vinyl frames, since the extrusions are very similar.

Since there are no problems in this area on my boat, I had planned to just use Hatteras window tracks. They hold up and function much better and smoother than the plain plastic stuff that Chris Craft used.

What did you have in mind for your side windows?

Hi
