Here are two companies that make windows for the Prairie. *In Sarasota, Waterway Systems. *941 752-3554, which uses mitered corners as in the original windows in the later Prairies, and powdercoats the frames. *The second is Ocean systems, of Miami, and promotes an anodized aluminum extrusion with radiused corners. *Both have websites. *As they use different manufacturing methods, a complete picture of the differences would be helpful. *Hope this helps. *As for floors, there is a Teak Concepts place in Bradenton FL that has resonably priced teak & holly floor sections at 4x8' and 4x10' as well as other teak products as well as premade pieces. *They are on 15th Ave E just North of the Sarasota Airport, across from Marine Surplus. *Max is replacing ports, floors and windows this spring, and is doing a lot of research. *As Gene is a production engineer and knows his materials and mfg processes he is very thorough. *I will pass along what he learns. *Peace, Rick, Cass Slo Poke3, Prairie 29 hull 51
