If i remember correctly our old moderator "WetWilly" posted something about a place in California that could custom make this stuff but...i suspect it will be a little pricey. I'll see if i can find that info & re-post it.

If you do a site search for "Cuddy door" you should find lots of threads on this subject.

Mostly just latchs catchs trim type stuff coming up but thanks also the center acess glass to the bow window frame might need replacing anything like that around?

Only at halloween unless you count old grannys as hens ;)

Unfortunately those parts that are missing or damaged on this boat are difficult to source replacements for but to be honest those type of parts would be difficult on most boats that are 10+ yrs old. Check ebay or Craigslist/Kijiji to see if anyone is parting out a Mariah.

It seems to me I was on some site the other day that did custom hatch door manufacturing, and had a huge stock of sliding door systems, but now I can't find it! i'll keep trying.

in the meantime here's a few places I found via a quick google search. They seem able to custom make anything.
Marine windows Bomon Marine Boat windows , doors,hatches,airintake ISO12216 ABYC Products and Enclosures

Teak Isle » Products » Marine » Sliding Cabin Entry Doors

There are many other places that can custom make the door from the black Lexan material. Search for Plastic Lexan Fabrication. You may even be able to find one in your hometown, or close to it!

As far as glass replacement, if it's in the center window, it'll be MUCH easier to get replaced than one of the curved windows on the sides. Any glass shop should be able to replace, or point you in the right direction of finding someone who can replace it.

The glass is there just the frame is twisted I think I can fix that without much effort and as for the engine hatch I made a cool little gas shock set up with a system similar to that on the hood of a car pull a small hidden handle and up she went :) I guess if I don"t get that Z255 limited off ebay I will go with the 278 not as clean atm but bigger boat and engine and a long winter and presto disto next season she will be the princess of the north Surveyor I emailed near the boat said he looked it over for someone else while it was on another lake last fall, he only mentioned what I had already saw and said the missing canvasses and those things were all that kept the former client from buying and he said that they had only gotten the deal down to $25k I think I still maybe able to sqeeze it down another k to $21 so I maybe be a Mariah owner soon :) There by leaving the only real trick to get that slider lol
