I have been looking for a few months now in the c-brat albums for an album where the owner put a porthole in the middle of the cabin facing forward on a 22 cruiser. I really liked the way it looked and now I can not find it for the life of me. I am interested to see how they made it fit flush around the outside curve of the cabin. Can anyone tell me whos boat this was?

Thanks
 
There are a few boat that I have seen with porthole install pics here, I can't recall the names off hand but the vetus pm 21 porthole is a good fit and is as big as you would want to go to avoid any problems with the curved surface they are installed through. I seem to remember an almond coloured sealant being used to blend the porthole corners.
 
The Vetus oval ports work in the vicinity of the nav lights (before the trunk curves too much) even though they do not fit perfectly flush.

A small round port might work in the front. A larger port will require spacers to compensate for the surface curvature.
 
Ive got a few ideas on how they did it but I would really like to revisit the album to get a closer look. I want to say the boat was from Florida.
 
Was it possibly Valkyrie?
 
Valkyrie isn't the one. They have a very good album though.
