Modern Frame = New Billet Cut frames and / or Fiberglass, they are out there and being retro fitted to some of these boats.

true but suppliers are few and far between and some i have seen don't supply all window types.
There's a plasic frame outfit up in the Eastern area of Canada...but the windows are expensive, shipping is a bid deal and you have to deal with an import issue according to them...can't be that big a deal...but there are so many domestic al frame guys..it seems the way to go.
When we were in the states, Diamond Sea Glaze did more window/door replacements then any other company we know of. They are in Canada and shipping to the US is not a problem. They also supply windows to a number of new US builds. We had friends who sent all the dimensions to the factory. When he got the windows back they went in easier than the old ones came out. They really dressed up his trawler and no leaks.

Have you priced them lately $2,000.00 a window is cheap.
Ok so I exaggerasted a bit.
Seem to be about the best you can get.

Folks have questioned my estimate that a sea going "blue water" boat coats 3X + what an inshore boat does.

Windows is a perfect place to see what the boat assembler had in mind.
