Looking for a 1982 ski nautique Wing window looks like there's none left on the planet lost it this past weekend if anybody has one let me know I can have one made for the price of my boat but not willing to go there if I can't find one I'll run without it thanks

I had a 1980 Ski Nautique with the same style of windows. I was able to find some from people parting boats, years ago, on www.correctcraftfan.com. I found that one I purchased was for another year. They seem to be year specific or at least the 82 started the 2001 series hull and windshield. You will find that the metal hinge on the glass is what you need so if you get the wrong size window, just slightly they differ, you can pull off the metal glued on hinge. Then take a piece of card board and make a pattern for the size and where the holes are drilled off of your other window. Then go to a glass shop and have them cut you out and drill the holes in new green colored tempered glass. Then glue on the hinge and you are 1/2 good. The best working hinges have a thin layer of rubber on them. Most no longer have this. I took some bike inter-tube and glued on a new rubber liner to stop vibrations in the frame. The hardest part is finding the Tee Handle to pull the window shut. Taylor Made still makes the black locking arm. Those can be found on e-bay. The hinge I am speaking of is kind of one size fits all, but they might be side specific. I went through several used windows and had glass made and found several hinges before I was satisfied. Then I NEVER OPEN THE WINDOW AGAIN. I was so scared I would loose it. They typically hit the highway and break and not fall in the lake. You may be able to back track and find the broken glass and pull of the hardware. That tee knob is hard to find.
I sold the boat two years ago and my stock pile of several parts to try to get one correct vent window.
