hard. There's enough guys around that do it, search for boat windshields there used to be a few guys around that did it in Ct I believe.

How hard is it to form a lexan window like that?

If they are hazed, oxidized, yellowed and any small scratches you might want to try

Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit. One step process.

It is simple to use. I was thinking of replacing my lexan, could not see out of, had to put head to the outside until a friend put me onto this stuff. Looks like new. Go by directions, cost about 25 bucks. May need cordless drill and two fully charged batteries if you do not have electrical outlet close by. Get it at auto supply.

As easy as waxing

I agree!

I don't think its that hard. depending on the size you can use a heat gun or if its small enough to fit in your oven build a mold and slow heat the piece of lexan for a couple hours then drape it over your mold then cut to size.

Depends on how much effort you want to put in or if whatever the cost of having it done is worth it to you. I'm guessing that will cost around 250 bucks.

15 bucks for a piece of lexan

I just got an email from the builder...he said that I can do it myself that it is thin lexan (it feels like a couple sheets to me) and that if I take out he is sure it will lay flat and I can use it as a template.
He said just use the right drill bit as it cracks easily. He said I should be able to get everything I need at Home Depot. (He also said if he had any laying around he would send them to me.)

These boats are semi custom and no two are really fully alike. I think they made like 70 or so without the pilothouse and only 6 or so with the pilothouse. (3 of the pilothouse boats are now in MA and were all in OB harbor a few weeks ago!)
I don't think they are making anymore of this model as they redesigned the boat and it is now an express type with twin IPS drives... it is a different beast now. But I really like the pilothouse..esp when it is raining.

As for photos, I will move a bunch to photobucket and post a link here if you really want to see it. Give me a day or so.
