BTW, is the strataglass as much of a PITA to maintain as the manufacturer makes it seem ?

" No other cleaners than theirs, suntan lotion screws it up ( as much as this is my fishing machine, it's a family boat too ). "

How does it make curves, well ? I'm looking for a TIGHT, CLEAR job.

Thx all
What I meant was sea mark is great I've had it on my own boats. It will tighten up with the inyl coating msking a tight top you do need to clean it more regularly or mold will grow on the inside. As far as window you can get a real nice tight fit with cheap 20 guage vinyl don't get that it thin cheap and don't last long I'll use 30g at. Minimum. Any vinyl with suntan lotion is somthing you want to avoid. I d seen cheaper seat vinyl stained from it. I did a new job the. This guy son fought over his girl and she oiled all up and stained the Sunpad.
Strataglass will make nice clear windows I like to use thicker. Vinyl. For curved windows on a large. Boat I'll use. 60 guests strataglass 40 guage I fine for most jobs. In your case is it just side windows or were you say curved windows I asume you want front windows also 30 guage extruded roll vinyl would be fine and I e tight windows 40 g strataglass even better.
Oh and get gortex thread now called tenara. In will last as long as the top not needed resewing
