If you can't figure it out just let us know, but there are two ways to do it, upload to the photo gallery or use photo bucket.

Love it! that is awesome work and a great finished product. Where did you get those windows? Im thinking of doing something similar and smaller on the center console of my 246 CCP but I looked up windows from one manufacturer and they cost more than my whole boat was worth!

I'm thinking of building a house for my FF.

Did you incorporate the factory top into the house?

Just went through the gallery. Nice work.

I am thinking of either making a top with existing radar arch or going all the way with a pilot house.

Tough call on an old boat, but it would be my old boat perfect for NorCal fishing.

Thanks, I got the windows custom from Wynn Enterprises inc. Cost about $1,500 with shipping. great company, I would recomend them to everyone. I did some hard core research,(looked up companies all around the World) they were the best and competitively priced.
I did use the factory hard top, and half the aluminum supports. I cut most of the supports away except for the back ones.

$1500 for all 4??? Wow thats a great deal! Love the partial awning window. Was thinking about doing the same type. I plan on a single front window. Thanks for the info.
