After closing myself up with the boards , I decided a porthole would be nice .
I have a 5" hole saw that I am going to use to drill a hole in the top board . On the inside I am going to cut a rectangluar piece of tinted lexan to cover this 5"hole . I will bolt the two together with some caulk between the plywood and lexan . :macx:

I'll have the boat home next week and will try to take some pics. I thought I copied the A/C mount thing from here, but I didn't see it looking just now.
