Also, can anyone point me towards a decent source for aftermarket or
used parts for Sea Ray's? We just bought a 1995 230 Sundancer in nice
shape overall, but with a few minor cosmetic issues, one of which is a
port-window that is cracked and in need of replacement. I'll go direct
to Sea Ray if I have to, but I wanted to see if there are alternatives
available.


Is it a standard window (i.e. a mass-pro portlight) or a proprietary
window built exclusively to conform to some portion of the Sea Ray
cabin shape? If you're dealing with a custom bult window that somebody
turned out for Sea Ray and nobody else uses.....good luck.
You might get a custom window from Sea Ray (but it wouldn't be cheap)
if they still have some in a warehouse someplce. What was the last
year model was built? If it changed radically right after 1995 (13
model years ago) it's going to be tougher to find an OEM window.

Is the window in a frame, or bonded into the hull? If it's in a frame,
you can probably hire a local glass guy to make a replacement. 99%
probability that it's laminated "safety" glass that will require
specific fabrication. If it's bonded into the hull, your labor costs
are going to go up a lot for R&R, but if it's a *flat* window you can
still have a local replacement fabricated from laminated glass (or
cheaper acrylic if you don't mind how it looks in a few years).
Perimeter curves aren't that hard to deal with, but if the window has
internal curves as part of the design that will be additionally
difficult to replicate.

Hoping for mass-pro window.....look for a mfgr's name in a corner of
the glass.
