Can't match glass though - plexi is much....MUCH softer material.
I ran a boat with a homemade plexi (lexan actually) windshield for several years. If you're careful with it it will last you a long time. The main secret is to NEVER just wipe it. Always flood it with fresh water before and during cleaning it.. that way you avoid the scratches from the salt and grime. Gentle strokes with a soft brissel boat brush work best.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
