I might be in the minority and likely jinxing myself but my 1980 C&C 32 has original windows as far as I can tell. I know the previous owner and he had the boat for 8 years prior to me and he never did a thing to the boat, much less replace the windows. They don't leak.
Yet. :( I have Bob's (Azura) nice write up printed and tucked away in my "boat binder" onboard. Thank you Bob!
