Hello Everyone!!New to your forum, Yesterday I just rescued a 1967 Cruiser visualy ruff but she's a very sound old girl. Not original engines, but they need fuel system, filters and fuel lines to get her running. She last ran 2 years ago. Once running i will start restoration. And will be looking for period correct Items. Last owner pulled the cabin front and side windows out an disposed of them??? Can these be reproduced?? All for now. Will post pictures when i figure out howDon in Bokeelia FL

Just FYI.
make it like you want t it to be. Forget period correct and make a boat youll enjoy.
There's no gain to a stock original boat of that era and financially no reward for restoring one.
Do the job right with quality materials and make it a resto-mod.
You'll be happier that way in the end.Scott

Yes the windows can be made. Broadus Rose with Lookout Window frames makes one piece fiberglass windows. He can make them open or fixed glass. His number is 252 723 2222.

Don't try to replace forward windows. The 28 was a wet boat. The original 28 windshields were quite porous. Build a nice locker inside where the windows used to be.

You've got your work cut out for you, but if you've got some skills and time it's a manageable project.
Definitely get a good power washer.
Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.--- The poster formerly known as Scrod ---
