I don't have a v20 but can't see through my windshield. Would the plastic be able to make the turn like my cheap factory plastic.

Phat,
I can make the side panels for you but attaching them to the top and front panel is were it gets tricky. If you lay out your pattern you have to take into consideration how and were it's going attach at the top and bottom and to the front. So if you need zippers installed you have to mark where they go and the beginning and end of each zipper also which end is the starting point and also what half of the zipper installed (the part with the slider or the part with the post). Most side panels attach to the top with a zipper and side to front panels are zippers also. If you have the old side panels that would make positioning all the attachment points much easier.

Striper,
I have almost the exact same boat as you. I believe my vinyl panels are original and sadly are in need replacement. Pretty sure although I might be wrong the factory used a 20 gauge vinyl. Yes the 30 gauge would be able to make the bend/turn around to meet the side panel. I have used 40 gauge to make bends on panels on large flybridge boats. Not a problem to use the heavier gauge material. The heavier stuff usually last longer however it is harder to work with when sewing etc.

That's good to know. Hopefully when I go over my off season list I'll be able ad this in.
Having owned both a v20 and the 23 how do they compare in ride? I've never driven a v20 only fished on my uncles. Hopefully when he gets rid of it I'll pick it up and restore it.

Striper,
To me the boats feel much different. The V 20 feels more nimble and can stay on plane at a slower speed. The 22-23 footer honestly gives the feel of a better ride probably because of where you sit further back on the boat. I also feel the ride is a little drier. The cockpit is huge on a V 20 compare to the 22-23 footer. However there isn't anywhere the usable space in the V 20 cuddy versus the 22-23 footer. If I was running a rough section of water.. inlet,bar,hole,channel like a white knuckle ride I would prefer the V 20. If I was running 30 miles home in sloppy conditions I might prefer the 22-23 footer due to the seating position and dryness. However a V 20 center console might run just as well but I have never been on a CC V 20. Both are pretty good boats. We have run 20 miles home in the V 20 in 2-3 footer. We have had our 23 footer out in small craft but only about a 6 mile run. Both boats run well in a following sea. We swapped our V 20 on to the 23 footer trailer and didn't have to make a single adjustment. This tells me the running surface is close to the same. Not sure I could choose one over the other.

 this is the vinyl above the windshield, it's less than 29" in width.  these are the "wing windows" i can make you a pattern from the side curtains these are about 20 years old, so i guess there not too bad. i generally put them up around christmas and take them down at easter.
