I must agree with everyone ... NFM ports are one the best investment I made. After looking at a variety of vendors/manufactures, I found the NFM ports to be very fairly priced and of the highest quality.

OK,

How are these for new fixed ports?



This is a project that I worked on with New Found Metals. It is their outer trim with a fixed tempered glass lite.  There will be an article coming in Good Old Boat but not sure when.  Interior is wood.  Cost is around $300 each.  If you have an interest let me know I may make more.

Here is a picture of the port just dry set into the opening before deck paint and the new eyebrow.  The pattern you see through the glass is a bed sheet that I tapped inside to keep the sawdust contained.  I had to enlarge each opening a slight bit for the new ports.



Here is another picture of the completed installation.  I will look for some more at a flatter angle or take some more when I am down there.  I will also look for pictures of the aft most port as it shows how the boat looks without the angled port in the rear.
