We just purchased an '88 3207 aft. Wow. She is a fixer-upper. Good bones though. We are looking to affordably replace all of the cracked portlights. I have read some older posts. Any new ideas?

If you get the part numbers you need, shop around on the web. You won't find them substantially cheaper, but the price does vary from the different vendors that handle them. You can always go directly to pompanette and pay list.

If you have ones that aren't broken but are really hazy, you can do the three-step plastic polish and bring them back to pretty good shape. Most of mine are from 83 and they can still be cleaned up. I have replaced a few where the tabs have been broken off. I saved the old ones and have re-used them for projects. One one, I mounted two fans and can pop it in to get extra ventilation in the aft cabin when necessary.

Welcome Aboard. I have the smaller sister to yours an 81 3007 Aft Cabin model. Lots of room in the aft cabin models. Best of luck with getting yours up to snuff. Hope you have a great experience with yours.
