Anyone have any experience/recommendations for affixing portlights externally on any model boat? My '71 V222 fixed portlights and frames are done (crazed, bent/corroded) and I'd rather get some acrylic or polycarbonate portlights made and mount them externally, directly "glued" to the cabintop sides. Don't really want to thru-bolt them, but could if I had to. Appreciate your ideas.

Thanks shipmates. Great info. I think I'll pursue the "Boatworks" method.

Hey there Rev. I'm replacing mine over the next week. I had plexiglass cut and tapered. I'm using 3M VHB tape, some #8 stainless fasteners and have built a wooden frame to receive the fasteners on the inside, so to create a sandwich. I'll get some pics up soon.
