Ray:
A few thoughts: I replaced the plexi windows on my C&C 42 Custom using the 3M tape method explained on this list. Looks 100% better and no leaks. Best of all, I did the work myself even though I’m only marginally handy. I assume the 33-2 has inset “go fast” windows (not the old oval frames), so this method will likely work for you. A friend of mine replaced the windows on his 80’s vintage 36-1 (also not the old oval frames). He had aluminum frames fabricated by Bomar. He is pleased with the results, but lamented about the cost. In addition, I replaced the windows on my previous boat, a 1978 34. The earlier 34s had the old oval frames, not the go fast windows. The size was nearly a direct replacement with Lewmar No. 1. Because the boat did not have a hatch in the main salon, I replaced all four main windows with opening ports. The hard part was installing them flat, as the mounting surface on the 34 is slightly curved in that area. As a result, I got professional help to mount them correctly. If I were not concerned about opening the ports, a little curvature in the surface is no big deal. Let us know what you decide.

I am stepping up and finally going to replace my windows. I am open to any information or suggestions. I was thinking of replacing them with aluminum frame windows. Any thoughts or guidance with this project. All input is appreciated. Thanks Ray Macklin LakeHouse Milwaukee WI
