The fact is lexan is used in many boat window applications with success. Also, just because it is not used in airplane windows regularly does not in any way indicate that it is not worthy of being used as a boat window.

FACT: Harley Davidson uses LEXAN for many of their windsheilds, but I guess they are "amatuers"

Check this website out under "ocean going BOATS" Boat Windows
More "amatuers" I presume.

Oh, and this one, look under LEXAN polycarbonate: Plastic and Plexiglas
More "amatuers"...

Lookie here, a book excerpt regarding how great LEXAN is for BOAT WINDOWS Fitting Out Your Boat: In Fiberglass ... - Google Book Search "amatuers" are taking over the planet...

Gemini Catamarans use LEXAN WINDOWS Sailing Magazine : Boat Test

OUTREMER Catamarans USE LEXAN WINDOWS, but what do the French know anyway...

and of course many more that I dont have time to find and post.

If you want to appear as an expert on the subject then I suggest you present the facts that show people that you are.

'Nuff said..

Guess I'm not the only one questioning MidLandOne.
