i started a similar project on my own boat
i started by "squaring" the console - the console is built in a mold,ithas a negative draft,meaning it tapers.iftat taper i left,the pilot house can look like a "teepee"...

i made a similar pattern,using underlayment,i set th forward window,as you did,at an angle...

using compostes,penske board,to build mine

here's the thead http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...ad.php?t=23408


i own/operate a marine repair biz,finding time to work on my own boat has proved difficult

if i have time to work on my own boat,that means i've got no other work - and that's not good !

Mine had the same taper. The sides are actually two pieces stacked on top of each other. The console had a little lip where the old windshield mounted. At that point I pegged it and straightened it back out so it was perfectly perpendicular with the ground. I glassed PVC to the back edge to give it stability and help mask this "kink". You can tell only if you really look at it.
