aft deck updates

We have a 1989 3807 Aft Cabin with lexan panels around the aft deck. They were in place when we purchased the boat, so I don't have any information on who did the installation. But I can describe it and have pics available.
rear windows consist of 3 panels approx 3' by 4' high, with the canvas window still in place above the ladder. Side windows consist of 2 panels 1.5' wide and 4' high. 1/4" thick.
All windows slide open in a channel made of starboard material with the channel routed in the end of the material. All windows slide open or can be removed for cleaning. Lexan material is tinted approx 35%. This cuts down on the heat and light transferred inside.
Doors are 1/2" thick lexan attached with a piano hinge along the outboard railing. Each door is cut down the middle with another piano hinge. This makes it possible for the door to fold accordion style so as not to interfere with the opening of the side windows. All lines aft are handles through the side windows, so having the doors split makes it easier to handle dock lines.
Lexan materials are readily available.
We have several pics and web page showing pictures of the rear deck.

Or additional pics can be taken and forwarded.

Hey Jim looked at your blog, would you mind sending me the photos also ? Your 3807 is done up real nice on the aft deck. We've been going back a forth for a year on how to redo our 3607.

Hey Mam234, I've done allot of Bath remodels and for the gull wing doors you might the Glass places. Its just like the shower doors of the custom glass showers and they know water tight. Im looking to find the hard top roof first.

May I suggest you look into EZ2CYfor your aft deck. We have a1989 3607 with an enclosure that was installed in 1999 and it is still looking brand new. The two sides have 2 panels and the aft has 3 panels all of which slide in either direction. The doors are swing in panels which give you plenty of access to the fore deck. Spoke to a rep at last years boat show in AC and he said that it would be about 10 grand to duplicate today but I think it is worth every penny. Just my 2 cents!

Our aft deck EZ2CY enclosure was already on our boat when we purchased it 4 years ago. There are a few dealers here in NJ and NY. The EZ2CY web site is very informative. I attached a couple of pictures to this posting showing the enclosure as well as a picture of an aft deck ladder which I installed. It is more convenient than the standard ladder and is actually for an above ground pool. Our boat very seldom leaves the dock at the marina, so we find both of these items very convenient. These pics were taken behind our home.

Pictures of our 3807 Carver with plexiglas enclosure on the back. the last picture is of the locking system for the wing doors. The doors are accordion style with a piano hinge down the center. This allows the doors to be folded in half and then locked open. We do this occasionally when cruising and during the hot weather. The side windows slide open and made from 1/8" lexan. With the wing doors open when cruising, the windows flex a little from the incoming wind. They are held in place with latch pins at the top and bottom of each window, this way they stay in place. back windows are large (36" x 40"), they are also held in place with latch pins. When handling lines from the side, we usually take the side windows out. This allows us plenty of elbow room for throwing lines.

If anyone is interested in close up pictures, send me a e-mail address. We are presently cruising, so internet service is sporadic at best. But I will follow up when it is available.

Jimmyb73. Sweet looking enclosure, thanks for sharing.
