isinglass replacement

Just looking for some feed back seeing I’ve never had the glass replaced

Looking to replace 3 panels on my top canvas , canvas is good just having 1 smiley and 2 small Sides for my t top , with 30 strataglass
I was quoted 625.00.

Is this what is considered normal ? I was expecting 400.00 or am I clueless

A PCs of Strataglass™ 40 Gauge cost a couple hundred ...

I think the Aqua-View cost even more....

Hope this helps... maybe now you can keep the windshield zipped up so I don’t freeze my arz off ....... LOL

Did you check with M&D Canvas over on Wilbur Ave, across from the nursing home? Mike is usually decent on his prices.

I think those are reasonable prices. I paid more than that for 3, 5 years ago. I had the same boat Guppy has, for reference.

No boat, back in the suds.

i did just my front panel. got the material off ebay and had my upholsterer do the labor. it was under 300 for everything. have you tried using the flitz ball and polish? it works amazingly well though u may have to repolish it mid season

my 1st wife didn't like me fishing so much

Convert to polycarbonate and thank me later. In the sailboat world, people have ditched eisenglass and gone to this with wonderful results.
