Bocas Del Toro Panama
In Response To: Nine years! ()

9 years is a long time. It's Stamoid with Stratoglass and has been great. We have a bimini that overhangs the dodger so that when it rains it stays dry and as a bonus it's out of the sun during mid day.

We sometimes think about replacing it but so far it's been perfect. We have had to re-stitch it twice and replace the center window due to scratches from rolling it up. Other than that, no problems at all. The crack concerns me as it's a sign that it's ready to fall apart.

We have a machine so we could order some new Stratoglass and stitch it to the Stamoid on the inside of the old glass and then cut the old glass out. We were thinking of doing that as it would give us another 3 or 4 years of use.
