Speaking of making your glass window "bulletproof", why not use the
polycarbonate used for "
bulletproof glass". What I've seen is tinted, but maybe there's a very light tint available. (
Polycarbonate is not costly in small sizes).
Mounted inboard, thin
Plexiglass might bend slightly from the pressure of the water, but that effect could usefully magnify what you're seeking.
Alternatively, sealed ports are made for
sail- and
motor-cruisers. You could install one (or more) in the bottom of a $300 used aluminum canoe, but keep that black cloth handy.
(Add an electric trolling motor and bracket accessible from your position--like my own aluminum canoe--and make the middle thwart removable with four of these pins for easier access).
Try to work the shaded areas--it's going to be HOT!
