1969 Century Restoration

[69Century]

Hey guys,

I recently obtained a 1969 Century Resorter and I'm doing a little fix-it-up work to it. The windshield and side window "gaskets" are all dry rotted out. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I may find any of these to replace them or if there is any way to make them? Any suggestions appreciated! thanks

Welcome to iboats and good luck on the restoration of that classic Century. You may be better to post your question in the restoration section. Also, get in touch with your nearest Century or classic boat owner's club. I'm sure they will have lots of suggestions for parts sources. And finally - post us some pics of the old girl!

A&A will definitely have what you need. I bought windshield molding from them last year. They are great to work with but I'd recommend calling them as opposed to ordering on-line.

Be very very careful with your windshield! There are no new ones and used ones can go as high as $1000!
