Hello,
I recently got a Ranger 29 and needs some fixing up. One such things are the windows, which are starting to leak.
Ideally I would like to install new frames and a new window.
Problem is I am having difficulty finding anyone that makes windows that are curved to fit the bend on my cabin wall.
My options seem to be either re-bed the old windows OR scrap the old frames and install some bare plexi/acrylic/etc. OR locate someone who can make me some new frames to replace the old ones. (Fourth option is build up the deck area around the openings to have a flat surface so I could install a new Bomar/Lewmar/etc. styled window, this option is probably beyond my current skill set)
My question to you fine Ranger folk: Have you replaced the windows on your boats and how did you go about it? Are there any portlight/window manufacturers I may have missed that can create a frame for a curved opening?
Thanks,
Bjorn
