is the stripe on the vinyl? if you cant find the color, maybe have brandon just redo that top section in straight blue. also hunter did your paint right? he puts paint codes under the battery covers, or just call him, he knew the colors for mine right off the top of his head.

Thanks. Never heard of John....Will give him a call

Read post #1 Corky!!!

I used 4200 adhesive and some big azz screws. The holes were within 1/4" of a bulkhead....no room to put washers or a nut on a bolt.

Who is Brandon? The vinyl does have the orange in it.

Dave Hunter did the paint on my boat. I've already looked under the battery covers...no paint codes. Do you have his #?

Craig, that looks GREAT dude !!! Good job on the install.

You can take the boat and cover to a canvas shop and they can modify the top to accept the windscreen. They'll probably just cut it and sew on a lil cup to have the windfairing go into. I did a lil lexan wind break on the top of my windshield frame, and that's what the canvas shop did to make mine fit, and it'll look like the cover was made for it. LOL

Great job, the factory could'nt have done better !!! LOL
