I got this kit (included frames, mounting hardware and new plexi windows) from Dan Boisvert @ fixleakyboats.com for my 33-2 in 2009. Since removal of the old windows and installing the new ones was a skill I hoped to never use again, and because I wanted someone to complain to besides myself if the new ones leaked, I had the fibreglass shop at my Marina install them. The new windows have stood up well for 10 years. Having said that, I have friends in my harbour with a C&C 32 who ordered the kit and the very same fibreglass shop had a bit##@ch of a time getting them to fit and they complained that the support from Dan was poor. After removal of the old windows, the new plexi is put into place with sealant and the frame provides compression to the seal by numerous through screws with wing nuts on the inside of the cabin. Once cured, the frames outside are calked, the wing nuts inside are removed and white nylon cap nuts are placed over the screws. Looks good from outside. It's not an awful look inside but the nuts are noticeable (to me, no one else has ever commented on them) and the shop had to re-install the accordian curtains a little higher to clear the nylon cap nuts. Overall, the cost and new appearance was well worth having a dry boat. Cost for the kit in 2009 was about $1500 CDN. I haven't looked at his website to see if there are other reviews so this is my personal experience with these kits
