New Windows for the Laura Mei
Put in new windows in the Laura Mei yesterday. Had them made by Mark's Plastics in Corona. He is a great guy and does excellent work. He made the original windows for Blackman. Mark came down to the boat measured and then delivered to the boat - they fit perfectly. The ones on my Outerbanks were plastic and had become crazed and yellowed. I put in tempered glass all around and the difference is amazing. I did not realize what I had been putting up with. Went with 1/4 tint bronze on the side windows and clear for forward and aft windows. My buddy Jerry helped me install and we knocked it out in about 7 hours. I think it came out great. Here are some pictures.
