![]() not sure if these guys do plexi windows, but they've been around, might be able to offer suggestions www.waterwaysystems.com Sandy Dan and Donna Happ ) writes: --------------090408060605050702040205 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit John, what color Plexi are you using? I am trying to replace the windows on my boat and I'm having a time getting the correct color. Are you using Translucent Acrylic black? What color is normally used? I just bought some Gray smoked Polycarb and the color is way off. Special order and they won't take it back. They called it 7135 Lexan.

I want to add a fixed window on the fore part of the cabin, so I can see through the cabin whilst seated at the helm.

The forward cabin bulkhead is curved in one direction, radially around the mast, so to speak, but not so much vertically. I have in mind to cut a hole, then flex a sheet of plexiglas, whatever, bolting it through. I wonder if 5200 can be trusted to never need replacing, is good enough, too good, or if there are alternatives I have not imagined?
