FYI, the old windows that I replaced on my 42 fit in the cabin house cavities almost perfectly. As a result, gel coat around the cavities was (and still is) chipped in several places. I assume that the chipping was caused by the plexi expanding more than the surrounding cavity on hot days. Based on the recommendation of this list, my replacement windows were cut 3/16” smaller than the cavities, all around, which required more effort than simply tracing the old windows. In addition, my windows were not identical on the port and starboard sides. Close, but not identical, which required some additional adjustment. I ordered my plexi on-line and had the pieces cut locally based on wooden patterns that I made from very thin plywood.
