I want to replace the portholes on my 1985 Hunter 25.5. Does anyone have any advice on where I may obtain such or how/who to do it? I also want to install a nice brass barometer(and/or temp gauge) and clock and temp gauge can be separate or with barometer. Does anyone know where to find nice marine ones?

http://www.newfoundmetals.com/ Good quality castings including bronze if you mean you are looking for bronze portlights--but that ain't gonna be cheap. Any maker should be able to give you instructions on how to properly replace ports it is basically nuts and bolts--and using the exact bedding they tell you to use. Brass is generally not suitable for marine use except for ornamental things. Beware the cheap stuff, the coatings will flake off and it will go green quickly. And if it is uncoated--remember it will need polishing regularly or it will go green and pitted.
