Regardless of size or even make and model, 'changing' the windows doesn't really make much sense. There are hatches (Deck) and there are portlights (Hull). It would be extremely rare to 'change' them. The cutout is a specific size and shape. I've heard of people with leaks removing, repairing and rebedding, or replacing if something was damaged in removal. There's usually so many other things to do that major changes costing a large amount of time and/or labor are rarely chased.
We added an awning that provides a lot of shade. Makes the cockpit and swim platform a little more comfortable. Only takes a few minutes to put up or take down and is unaffected at any cruising speed.
I am just seeing this post. I had all my window frames with the exception of the aft sliding glass door, cleaned, primed and painted with a color that is very close to the color of the boat. They look great.
Also, I had my dash consoles remade and used new gauges. See for yourself.
Frame was made out of stainless tube and fittings. The longest piece of tubing has a joint in the middle and folds for storage. The canvas was sewn by a friend. Basic but functional.
