Dear Fellow Whaler Freaks - I came across a company in Garwood, NJ called Petro Plstics
(www.petroplastics.com/boston.html)who make the white glazing
strip that runs around the window panes on the old mahogony
consoled Whalers. Pricing is 3$ per foot with a minimum order of 15
feet.
I got in touch with Bill Gathercole there who passed along the
following information:
- You must send them a letter asking for the white glazing strip that
was the OEM glazing strip for Boston Whaler windshields, Dye #250.
- You must also state how many feet you want, and enclose a check
made out to Petro Plastics.
- The letter must be sent to the following address, attention Bill
Gathercole:
Perto Plastics Company, INC.
ATTN: Bill Gathercole
450 South Avenue
Garwood, NJ 07027
I ordered 20 feet of this material two weeks ago and received it
promptly and installed new glazing on my 1964 Sakonnet. This is the
genuine stuff and it looks fabulous. I haven't seen this particular OEM
part described here before and I hope this helps a few folks out.
