[Public-List] Window replacement, what's the best material ?

[Wes Gardner via Public-List]

Greg,

Here's what I know...Lexan although 'bulletproof', scratches easier than just good old Plexiglass.  I think a lot of folks are using butyl rubber for caulking.  There's an "art" to using the stuff as you have to tighten the bolts SLOWLY, allowing the caulk to ooze out over time

They appear to be clear quarter inch Perspex. The windows are way past their best so I'm considering using 6mm tinted lexan. Is this a good idea and also what would be the best sealant. I think I can get the original sealant from a chandlers outside of Toronto. Any ideas?

I think that she has had 4 owners including myself and at least two name changes. She is called Good Hope and I believe was named as such by her second owner. If you have any information or even better some pictures of her that could be emailed I would very grateful.
