Re: 28 express on trailer
Rollers are not recommended for aluminum boats. The rollers do not spread the weight out properly and can bend the hull of the Big M

Re: Sliding Glass Windows Lessons Learned
Thanks for the update. My Starboard Salon fwd pane cracked this summer. So I need to at least remove it and replace. Do you know what the cost was for a single pane for the starboard forward glass was? I like the look but might have to replace with lexan if too costly.
