Re: LAUNCH
We're in the process of trying to replace our starboard window and are waiting on a quote. What type of glass did you use and was the $2700 for install too? Thanks in advance for any help.
Have a great summer!

Pretty low-tech! Copied it into mspaint, rotated, added the text then resaved and uploaded.

Re: LAUNCH
The glass is 'Taylor Made'. I was able to track down the specific piece working with Carver and then the people at Taylor Made.
The $2700.00 was 'glass only' with shipping. They sometimes have to custom manufacture the piece. I believe they had mine on hand.
The install was $1,000.00 cash. I had quotes from a marina for $1,800.00 to install. I was fortunate to find a guy that had experience with this specific installation. The challenge with the Mariner is the glass is flat and the boat has a curve. It required that he secure the piece with wedges and gorilla glue and come back a second time to complete the caulking. He did a great job, but it certainly was not cheap.
Best of luck to you.

Do you happen to still have the contact info for either Carver or Taylor Made? I didn't think it be this difficult to replace a window! Thanks for the help.
