  • I have many new, never installed, factory manufactured fiberglass parts.

    1)  Hatch lids for barracuda 12' wide 1989 and newer models only.port and starboard both, white in color, but I can match most almond colors that HM produced.

    2) Hatch lids for 14' wide models.

    3) Swim platform for 12' W models, w/o brackets, but can obtain these, special order only.

    4) Front bow seat, all models.

    May possibly be able to produce some fly bridges.

    can reply to adrian_smith_sr@yahoo.com

Not fiberglass but what about the fixed (non sliding) portion of the port side window in the rear stateroom on a 1988 38 ft aft cabin?

I am familar with the older HM construction and parts.  Currently working on a factory refit on a '84 model coastal barracuda, I believe the window design is much the same as yours.  Does your windows have the aluminum frames that  screw together from the inside only?  I believe they are but am not 100% positive.  I am not aware of any replacement glass for these style windows.  The current HM's use the same design.


I am aware of 2 suppliers for a complete new window assembly, which would include the outside glass,slider,screens,and SS screws.  With your HIN I can research the build sheet for your boat which would lead me to a blueprint of this in the old files that are available to me, then the glass company can quote the window.  Or you can measure the rough opening including the degree of slope, radiuses of corners, size of sliders, and thickness of wall.
These measurements would have to be precise or the new window wouldn't  fit the hole you already have in your cabin, of course.  Either way I could get you a quote on the Assembly.

There are a few different style flybridges that will fit your boat.  Do you want a bridge similar to what a '83 model would have been equipped with from the factory?  What color?  The most common for this model boat consist of a center mounted helm with seats roughly 4 ft. long on each side. They may be more like 3 ft.  The flybridge would probably seat 4 or 5 people comfortably.  Do you want the bare bridge or do you want the Windshield, rails, cushions, and/or controls included?  This bridge is less than 8' wide so it can easily be transported on a small utility trailer.  I'll measure it tomorrow, and see what others bridges are available.

I would lake a standard Fly bridge my HM is almond is color , I would like to put the back to back seating in the fly bridge area , So the center console would work fine with a wind shield.. The control's would be added at a later date .

Holidayboatbuilder...do you by any chance have the fiberglass panels for making a "party top" for a Sumerset? I am thinking about adding one 15-16 wide approx 18 ft in length.

So you would like a price on a almond flybridge with windshields?  I can tell you the windshield made out of 1/4" black tinted plexiglass  is $475.00 for both halves.  Would you consider a smaller white flybridge with no seating area that is already produced?  Which would be cheaper, of course.  The color could be changed on this one also, or you could save some money and do that yourself.

Here is a picture of the standard flybridge. the bridge overall is 10' in length and 8' in width.  The seats on the sides are a little longer than 4', I measured this today and found the other bridge in storage.  If you would like I can photo and measure it, if your interested
that is.

I need to check some sizes, and availability, what kind on support do you have in mind for this?  Can it be multiple pieces, As most are?  Is weight an issue? Plans for installation?  crane, fork lift etc?

HBB, I was looking at the standard type party top installation that Stardust/Sumerset has using the aluminum poles for support. The panels i have seen were in 6' segments the width of the boat. My preference would be to find someone that would install the whole thing reasonably. I'd go for a canvas one if it was a deal, but would prefer something I would never have to replace again.

Thank you so much for the link! All I have to do now is convince the wife that the party top is more important than Christmas and a vacation!

No, I do not believe it is more important.

But the new party top/upper helm could substitute for YOUR Christmas present.

Then you could spend YOURS and HER Vacation on top of the Houseboat.

It is more fun to ride and operate on top, than inside.

Go for it, how many times will you live your life?

I believe once.

We have an early 70' stardust cruiser.  We are looking for a flybridge.  Appx 8 X10, preferably complete.  However, would consider the fiberglass frame only.  Please send pics of any you have available to bugsbunnie@mchsi.com
thanks

We just added a party top to our 2003 63' X 16' Sunstar.  It is not a hard top and is not canvas.  It is a material called Ferrari Top.  We are on Dale Hollow lake,TN and they delivered and installed it as well.  It was 16' X 20' and it sure makes a difference.  The Ferrari Top is white which makes it about 30 degrees cooler than a Black or Navy canvas top.  We also had shade screens mad up for the sides and provisions on the framework for two ceiling fans.  We got it done by Phillip Russell at PCR Restorations/Lehr Awnings.  Their telephone number is 419-747-7633.  They really did a professional job and if I remember it was less than $5000 delivered and installed with all the extras.  

Phillip has a houseboat on Lake Cumberland and has made quite a few party tops.  Tell him you were referred by Jim clark the guy with the Ferrari Top on Dale Hollow and he will treat you right.

Jim
