Guys, I've got a 16' Angler which, unlike its bigger sisters, doesn't have any windows that open up front. There are side windows that slide open but they don't provide a lot of relief on a hot day. Have any of you found a window out there that can be installed to open? I called the C-dory...

Guys, can you help me out? My little 16 Angler has got some quirks that maybe you can help me unravel. 1. She has a slight list to starboard. No, the engine is straight and not turned to right. The equipment is evenly distributed. So is the gas. Any ideas? Is it just the weight of the...
