I would have to agree with Chuck that it probably isn't a good fit for our boats, but I do like them and they are kind of cool. It is slick to watch the green water flowing by. Some caveats I can think of are compromising the structure of the hull, after all we are bending these boats like a bow and arrow. Another might be getting a good frame for the lens. So that it would be strong enough and tight enough to withstand pounding waves . Those ports are super heavy tempered glass, not acrylic, put in with urethane that sticks like car windows. Which of course holds up and sticks lot better and longer than plexiglass. I am really surprised that a lot of oh, well us, don't replace those windows with tempered glass. There is a place called tempered glass of Prussia, in Pennsylvania that makes custom tempered glass.

It seems to be a growing trend. My general sense of windows is that at some point in their lifetime, they will begin leaking so windows that will be underwater periodically would concern me. Are these windows mounted differently from those in cabin tops to give confidence in their structure or is this a feature to avoid altogether?
