Center window replacement

[Bob McDonough]

Hi all,

I am on Cape Cod and we had a couple Tornados run through here and I have some damage to my 2002 Sea Ray Weekender 225. The biggest need right now is a center walk through window. The storm not only took the Bimini off the boat however the window is gone and no where to be found. It may be on a beach in Martha’s Vineyard or at the bottom of Nantucket Sound. Does anyone know where I can find a center window? I have a few other items however the window is priority.
Thanks in advance

Other than trying to locate one through a marine salvage yard (just gotta google for that), the OEM is Taylor Made. They're not cheap. I assume you're going through your insurance? It might be easiest to work with a local boatyard - one that's good at repairs. The center window ripped off with no damage to either the port or stbd side? I would think there would, at least, be damage to the port side (hinge side).

How deep is the water?

Maybe consider hiring a diver.

They are near impossible to find used and can run up to $1,200 for a new frame and glass. Plus it takes up to 8 weeks to have it made

I've seen boats written off for windshield damage...

Thanks guys, There does not appear to be any damage to opening or hinge area. I have been quoted a little over $2000. For a replacement and have been contacting salvage yards. The boats value is around $18,000. so it is worth paying the 2 gs. I just thought it high and would try other sources.

I was quoted $940 plus shipping
just for the glass from taylor made.
