Defever Trawler Upgrades - Advice?

TrawlerDude · 02-07-2009, 20:06

I just purchased a 1974 Defever Trawler, a 34 foot Passagemaker. It is the only Defever I have ever seen and it was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't resist buying it. However there are a few things that I would like to change.
1. It has fixed, plexiglass windows that are functional and don't leak but they are a little cloudy and worn. Can they be cleaned/polished or do I need to replace them? Is there a good source for replacements?
2. I would also like to upgrade and have a few windows that open (sliders). Any suggestions?
3. The teak inside the cabin is discolored and dirty, what is the best technique/products to restore the teak?
