    Very deep since they have holes in them!

    Now I'm stuck. Do I repaint the whole boat or just the sides of the house? If I repaint the whole boat, do I remove the portholes and add nice Slane Marine engine room vents? UGH!

    Once we were happy with the fit, we went ahead and got it ready for installation...

    A few days later and we're able to test fit the new window panels (frames, whatever you want to call them)...

    While the guys are laminating the new window frames, we're going at the boat with sawzalls and hammers!

    If you take a close look you'll notice that the new window frames already have pockets for blinds and although the windows have plenty of curves and steep angles, we've made the actual window openings nearly square allowing us to be able to use inexpensive (non custom) blinds.

    Once we decided on a shape for the windows, we proceeded with making a temporary mold for the window frames.

    I've been away from the forum for a little while, we've been pushing forward with the rehab. I'll post new pics tomorrow. Fantastic section Wiley.

    I'm taking the tower off the boat, anyone want it? It's in fantastic shape.

    Did you put it back in the water while working on it? Yep. I only had it out of the water for the bottom job. Project finances have changed a little bit as I've purchased a bigger hat to replace this one.

    It certainly doesn't look like a broken bolt caused that.

    It says the boat was destroyed at the boat ramp in brookhaven, from the looks of the ferry in the background it looks like Port Jeff.

    So we got the interior gutted but before we put anything back together we've decided to change the windows on the side of the house to something a little different. I personally hate when people try to put newer hat windows on older hat's, so we decided to do something that was in keeping with the rest of the boats styling but slightly more current. Here are the templates that represent the window profile that we picked...

    Let me know when it gets there! What's really disgusting is the kind of garbage that accumulates in places you can't clean over 27 years. People wonder why old boats smell!
