No, the frames are held together with ss screws very easy to disassemble.

He said you had to drill them off to take the roof off?

Anyways, not my rice bowl

 

[BarkleySounder]

I don't think there is a need to fully remove the entire glass and roof assembly at the moment. Mainly just looking to reset the front windshield

DON KIMURA MARINE SURVEYOR 4333 VIRGINIA Rd. PORT ALBERNI, BC., V9Y 5V7 (250) 723-4496 B.C. TQ # 9068

Used him a few years back to survey a Pursuit 345OS in Port Alberni. Good job. Would use him again.

I did the windows on my 206de. The hardtop can be removed by drilling out the pop rivets in the aluminum trim; the windows are held onto the cap by T bolts that slide into a channel on the bottom of the window frame. I wound up having to fabricate new window channel/sliders using uhmw as replacements are just not available anymore.
you must disassemble the window frame in order to do this.
For the front windows I bedded them in with butyl tape and again the rubber gasket trim that holds the glass in place isn’t available either, I searched for months and couldn’t find the right size profile.

So what did you use for trim?

I got some at ajr marine Windows. It's called A5 Glazing rubber

I spent some time today and did the dreaded task of ripping out the vinyl in the cuddy. As expected, it left a million residual tiles behind. I'll have to spend awhile grinding them off before I replace it with carpet. At least now I can get a good look of the cuddy without the vinyl in the way!

The toilet is going to be replaced as the other half would not dare sit on it in its current state!

The kicker is now mounted and looks good!

If you are referring to the front windshield gasket I just went without.

You can mask it off and do a crisp caulking infill, peel the tape and it should look great. Neutral cure would be best so it does not shrink back.

I was thinking the same thing just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Those little white squares are a pain in the butt,I used a purple abrasive flex disk from Canadian Tire.
I finished the inside of mine with hull liner ordered up from JT outdoors, I think it’s 72” wide and running meter quite reasonable easy to work with and looks great.

Do you have any pictures of how it turned out? Curious of how the hull liner looks!

You will have to pardon the’70s plaid cushions.

Amazing. Mind me asking how much fabric you needed and what it cost?

Its $40 a running meter and it’s 72” wide, can’t remember how much I ordered I’ll see if I can dig up my receipt but I think it might be about 6 meters, I’ll try and call them tomorrow and find out.
I have some leftover if you pm your address I can send you a chunk.
I used it for headliner on the hardtop as well.
