Re: TWL: Flybridge Hardtop

Frank,
Susanne and I built a flybridge top and hard enclosure on a
Gulfstar 49 motoryacht in Stuart, FL a year and a half ago.
The owner saw our pilothouse, and asked whether we could
build him a similar one.  Since we could tie WTP up in his
back yard (on the canal), and build the nidacore and glass
top in his 2-car garage, we said yes.  The complete job
including custom-made tempered glass sliding windows came
to $18k.  We don't really want to build another, but it
shouldn't be too hard to find a handyman with some glass
experience to build it for you.  Ask around at your local
marinas and repair shops to see who does glass work on an
informal basis.
