Speaking of windows...has anyone replaced the aft windows in the 36DC or 41YF? The white rubber gasket is rotting away and I don't want black. Aluminum would be my choice and I'm looking to find a replacement that fits the hole.
Also, I put dark silver tint on my front windows. Sheets of it are available at Home Depot. It's difficult to do and I'd have it done professionally if I do it again. It looks good, keeps the sun from beating down on the interior, doesn't hinder viewing and keeps people from looking in when the boat's in a marina.
