Good Day all, my name is Brian. I live in Seattle where my boat will be moored.
I "might've be buying a, "1982 Kha Shing Aft Cabin Trawler"
1. It needs ALL windows and frames replaced. If I need a couple, might as well do them all. The owner is willing to pay the cost.
Note, not much water damage that I can see, nor Surveror reports, (wood just looking frayed and 2 windows cracked). Surveyor said said it's common, "moister" stains.
2. Estimate: How much would replacing the wooden frames and windows cost? An estimate is fine. And I don't mind if they get replaced with aluminum? 3 large front windows, two rear windows, about 6 side sliding windows and two windows on the doors. So I recon 13 in all?
I need this info so I can restart the "bargaining" process. As you know, this boat is similar to many of the Taiwanese boats here, (been reading and learning from everyone here for weeks).
3. Can you recommend someone in the Seattle area to do this job? My wife laughs at me when I pick up a tool.
4. Do common "Home" window repair places do boats? Again who in the Seattle area?
Thank you, Brian
