They are as cheap as $147 if you get the 1/4" thick acrylic. The link above takes you to the Wellcraft windshields.

Pics above show 6 coats A2000 primer on hull bottom along with 4 coats of Primekote on the sides. I alternated between grey and white A2000 so I could see how many layers I was sanding through. Each coat of Primekote was block sanded with 220 grit.
I finished replacing almost all the wood in the cap with divynicell and decided to insulate my forward fishbox while I was at it. Built a mold, lined it with cellophane and filled with 2LB expanding foam. Then I shaped it to accommodate the stringers. What you don't see is that I painted it with white epoxy resin. Then back to painting. Used Interlux Perfection and IT WAS A *****! I rolled and tipped 7 coats while handsanding with 320 grit between coats. Each time it was different problem. Ended up building a tent with a ventilation system and shooting it. Finally great finish. Put 3 coats of Performance VC on the bottom and now just a little hand sanding to get it glossy on the transom and at the bow and that phase of the project will be done.

How did I miss this?? Amazing work. Are you using polyester or epoxy resin? If you do not mind me asking, what does the divinycell cost?

Absolutely. I made a 8" x 8" test piece using the original 1/8" fiberglass deck on one side and 2 layers of 17 oz on the other. I put it on the edge of my concrete steps and stomped on it expecting it to crack and darn near broke my ankle.
When they ship it they will cut it down in 2' x 4' sheets and whether you buy one or three shetts shipping costs the same.
