WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT

[Franco]

If I remember correctly, some folks were looking for replacement windshields, saw this and thought someone might find it helpful - see the link

I chuckled at the passage about insurance covering repairs as a little self-serving in a shady way.

"I was walking on the foredeck and tripped on the hatch rails, falling into the windshield and shattering all three panes." $500 deductible = new windshield? ;)

Good resource to keep in mind, though. If I were to re-do mine, I think I would try to rake the windshield a little, instead of making everything in-line. The walk-through pane is forward, and the two sides sweep back, and you still have the side panels. Like the Formula 233 Fisherman...

I've been toying with making a new windshield frame - I would like to raise it about 4 inchea and add a radius to the side glass. Gotta figure out how to make a frame out of fiberglassor epoxy - and a little rake might be cool if you dont lose too much space over the helm

Thought about rakin' mine like that,too til it dawned on me that front and side curtains wouldn't fit if I did... :P...right now all I wanna do is get 'em off, re-finish, new rubber and replace... ;D...Oh yeah...and STOP screw-hole leaks... ::)...
