I recently purchased a 1987 Celebrity 225V Bowrider and am needing to find a replacement "adjustable wing window handle" for the starboard side window. Does anybody know where I might find this hardware? I have seen similiar hardware that TaylorMade makes, however I do not believe they will work for my application. Please help if you can!!!

Hi There. I have an 89 and have had the same issue. I never found the exact replacement. I did find a similar but different replacement that actually works better from either Overton's or West Marine. I had to drill the windshield frame holes a little differently but works well.

Hey Paul, thanks for the advise about the replacement handles. Your '89 model looks awesome from the pics that you sent. I'd like to know more about the audio system that you have in your boat. What all does it consist of (brand of head unit and speakers)? Any amplifiers? If so, where did you mount them? If you had it to do over, would you change anything about your audio system? Currently mine has the factory stereo and speakers and I would like to upgrade them over the winter. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

"little project" Paul? You are a very modest man. Work well done....Beautiful boat!
