Default Window Replacement - old chris craft scorpion

Hello

I am totally rebuilding a scorpion 230 Year 1979 - It was sold 1980, but I found a tag at the tank that reads 1979.

I am removing / replacing everything: engine 5,7 mpi, carpets (inside and outside), water tank, pumps, half electric, some gauges and also - I need to replace the windows!

Can someone tell me a source for them or for replacements that are not to expansive?

I dont care if they are plastic or metal. i found a place for e kit, but that costs 650 $ for 4 Windows, and i have to drill them together by myself.

The boat has 4 windows, that look like that (had to add dots as a spaceindicator for the editor)

If all you need is replacemet glass panes then take the frame to a local glass shop and have them cut new ones out of lexan.

If it is possible i would like to have all replaced, because each window has at least 3 cracks (not in den glas, but around - excuse my english please)

If i dont get new windows i have to glue them totally. they would look like a tiger .....

Default windows

I use to own a 1980 scorpian myself if you go to http://www.chrisparts.com/ they have them but beware you'll be replacing them again. You can't just put a new lens in because they are glued to the plastic frame. mostlikely the frame is starting to crack as well

Meanwhile I have ordered 6 windows (2 spares) and a lot of other parts for my scorpion.

Thanks for the advice.
