Sorry folks! I have been buried in our move from New York to Bayfield,
Wisconsin. Things are so hectic that I have not had time to put Mighty
Quinn in the water! Regarding window replacement, I was the first to
use the Cruising Concepts windows. Indeed, I sent my old windows to
them as the template you are currently purchasing from! I wrote the
whole process up and it is posted on our website for your edification
and enjoyment.
I can report these windows worked great and have taken a lot of
punishment over the almost 15 years I have had them. I do see crazing
in the plexi on some windows and the butyl caulk does deteriorate. I
used 4200 on top of the butyl after scraping off the dried up butyl and
have to touch it up every other year. The best news is I have only had
one leak!
