    Weather Seal For Pilot House Windows

    those look exactly like the seals on a couple step vans i have had over the years, i would go to a local glass shop that installs, take one of the seals out and take with you, they can match it up and give you a crash course on installing....... very simple and fairly easy with flat panels...

    Binoculars

    i bought a pair of 10x70 a few years back when i was up in New York city.... i dont remember the brand but those things were awesome........ they were a bit heavy, and no stabilization so when you were really "reaching out there" it was like trying to thread a needle while riding a galloping...

    anyone familiar with these ? (next gen)

    im really interested in this gen set, does anyone have experience with them, any pros or cons to consider ? they seem fairly new to the market, my biggest concern would be how they hold up in the long run Beta Marine dealers are carrying them so the customer support should be good to go NEXT-GEN...

    Boat buying blasphemy

    im sorry, but i gotta call BS on this observation ........ when is the last time you paid 700 bucks for plug wires (bmw 7 series) replaced cat converters due to bad gas (another 700 in a lot of cases) had your car totaled for what amounted to a fender bender had to watch an anti lock light on...

    glue

    you cant fill in gaps with liquid nails and anything surrounding a door or window should be treated as structural, even though it may not be, treat it as such and you will never have to worry about messing with it again.... i would go epoxy with any "glue" repair, i have seen liquid nails fail...
