Default Windshield fairing for a 32

I've been looking at pics of other AT's, I see some with a fairing & some without. The 96 32 that I'm working a deal on, does not have one. I noticed, during my ride on "Thunderstruck", that Tom has a fairing & it definetly works. My question is, where can I get a fairing for a 96, or will it have to be custom made?
Just something I was wondering about....

You can have it made at a local plastics shop. I'd go for 3/8" thick lexan.

Quick details:
Make a pattern out of cardboard, and then have it made locally. You remove the pad that goes across the front of the top of the dash/very edge of the deck. Screw the lexan in here, and then put the pad back over it.

There should be 3 or 4 straps (seperate) around the pad, look behind them there should be screws.

Mine is 3" tall that is sticking above the pad you will need it appx 6" or so to put down behind pad and screw it fast , as cosmic said the screws are behind the slip over pads.

Thanks,
I really love that paint job on your boat. I do wish it was within my price range, that's a great looking boat.

Default I find mine to be a pain..

Makes it harder to get on the bow of the boat, it looks good but they can make it in more than one piece to have easier bow access. No I am not an old man, but the cockpit is deep so not so easy to go drop an anchor. I have a 28 there is no stair,does the 32 have built in stairs? Vic
